I Told You Things Video (MV)

I told you things that I never said
You're the golden boy and my worst regret
So I cut the cost and I limit feeling
You were all at once 'til the fade to black
Took your cigarettes and poems back
You were in my hands, now you're on my ceiling

But how's the city been?
You get recognized at the local bar
By the drunken guys
And the starlet girls, they claw for pieces
Do you give a few? Do you like that?
Do you freak out or get sad?
Do you go home, or am I reaching?

Hey, wait, guess what?
Yesterday I stopped and played it safe
Instead of walking straight to you to say
Stay, nevermind, okay
Don't mean it, plus you've changed
Not much, but just enough to throw away
Fake fantasies and games
I've lost a year, it's strange
Composed a hundred ways to tell you
Hey, what if I took your call as more than just a call?
As writing on the walls?
You built this cage
Lost color in my face, you're fearing I'm insane
Hallucination, shame, guilt, pain, more pain

(Don't let them know we're in pain) more pain
(Don't let them know we're in pain) more pain
(Don't let them know we're in pain) more pain
(Ah)

I told you things that I never said
To anybody else, I regret them
But I'll pack it up and practice leaving (mm)
You were all at once 'til the fade to black
'Til the yellow glow turned a little sad
You were in my hands, but you're good at leaving
