[Verse 1] I'm cutting through You're bleeding out And I would tell the truth, but I can't help myself Red rushes out, dissect this nerve And I'll stop myself before I reach my cell [Chorus] I wasn't asking for the world And you know that I'm not one to follow through All these city streets, the people look the same And I can see your face and I can hear your name I wasn't asking for the world [Verse 2] You're stabbing in Permanent scars And you'll justify it all inside yourself You've finished me My pulse is gone And you're satisfied to put this all to hell [Chorus] I wasn't asking for the world And you know that I'm not one to follow through All these city streets, the people look the same And I can see your face and I can hear your name I wasn't asking for the world [Bridge] Drink the poison when you think it's over Stabbing yourself, when you think it's too late Tragic endings are your thing, you love them; You love letting go. The ending's the same Drink the poison when you think it's over Inevitable, Verona lives inside of you [Chorus] I wasn't asking for the world And you know that I'm not one to follow through All these city streets, the people look the same And I can see your face and I can hear your name I wasn't asking for the world
