[Verse One] Everyone is always thinking about love They assure me that this would be the one But look me in my haunted eyes and realize just how far I've come I scream and cry till I drop and die And I know I know that this time I'm never making it out alive [Chorus] He called my name And when I came All that was there was an empty grave I told myself it was a joke That he would come from the trees But the grave got wider and every thought scattered The dirt settles over me like a tragic duet And I hadn't even called him mine yet [Verse Two] All my friends smelled of scandal The kind that always gets you canceled He danced trough them like fire And convinced me he couldn't be a liar Jokes on me I'm a pitiful wreck And all I wanted to do was ring his neck [Verse Three] I cried my eyes violet And told myself to toughen up and be the starlet The first line of the first act And I was just a page break before intermission All my friends said I'd be fine But they said it all with a plank in their eye [Chorus] He called my name And when I came All that was there was an empty grave I told myself it was a joke That he would come from the trees But the grave got wider and every thought scattered The dirt settles over me like a tragic duet And I hadn't even called him mine yet [Verse Four] The lights outshone the lie And he just grinned and sneered goodbye The time stood still The crowd was shocked And all that played Was the ticking of the clock [Bridge] Fool me once (Shame on me) Fool me twice (Oh, whats it like to breathe?) Fool me three times (And I'll scream "Let me be free!") [Verse Five] I knew it would come to t his I had it written in the margin of my to-do-list He mocked me for my tears And recited hamlet through my fears Take me now I'm ready to go Lay me down in my bed of thorns [Chorus] He called my name And when I came All that was there was an empty grave I told myself it was a joke That he would come from the trees But the grave got wider and every thought scattered The dirt settles over me like a tragic duet And I hadn't even called him mine yet
