Bitter Scene

from The Compass & The Vessel by Stay Golden

lyrics

Why I'm stuck here waiting for you?
No reason why
There's no reason why!
There's nothing left in this whole town
I'll show you why, or I'll just leave you on your own
decomposing self, my weekend's turning out cold
left it on the shelf, this story's getting so old

I know that you're leaving all your friends behind
they hope that you won't look back and maybe you'll die
it hurts to say you're not even a memory
don't leave this way, or we'll end up a bitter scene

twenty-two and now, you've got the whole world hanging on a thread
you're dangling it around
but there's nothing more I can say
you're on your own, you're going your own way
decomposing self, my weekend's turning out cold
left it on the shelf, this story's getting so old

I know that you're leaving all your friends behind
they hope that you won't look back and maybe you'll die
it hurts to say you're not even a memory
don't leave this way, or we'll end up a bitter scene

WE WALK IT OFF AND WE THINK IT OVER (2X)

(Chorus Mashup)

I know that you're leaving all your friends behind.
