When sinful invitation becomes a painful second guess
I'll take back what we started and I'll come back for the rest
My words have been demoted to a shameful waste of breath
I'll hold my tongue much tighter than I'm holding this regret
Take my phony heart and make it something real
Break my open arms so pain is all I feel
I feel like sitting this one out
When summer is over I'm letting this one go straight to my head
Cuz you're better off when you're better off dead
Drown me in shallow water until breathing starts to slow
It's well said that you're better off when you're better off dead
My heart has turned against me and I'm hanging by a thread
Cross your fingers when you kiss me and then say we're more than friends
I've set my sight on summer and making one last bet
I'll be taking all your punches like I haven't already yet
Take my phony heart and make it something real
Break my open arms so pain is all I feel
I feel like sitting this one out
When summer is over I'm letting this one go straight to my head
Cuz you're better off when you're better off dead
Drown me in shallow water until breathing starts to slow
It's well said that you're better off when you're better off dead
