I'm Only Here to Disappoint Lyrics

Well I'm hurting for someone else to feel the pain
Are you hurting too? I'm desperate, so desperate
But I won't get my hopes up,
I'll just get all my ropes taught
After all, I'm only here to disappoint

I am truly only here to disappoint
Like all your dreams you wind up dead
All those promises I never kept,
I laugh and you will cry again and again and again and again
These simple things I just can't say
Remove the you from you and me
I'll stand to bring you to your knees again and again and again

And I'm crying for someone to show me
Real tears I've tasted them, I've wasted them
So many empty years
Now I'm dying just to give you
A body I can give to,
Something I can be a part of forever

I am truly only here to disappoint
Like all your dreams you wind up dead
All those promises I never kept,
I laugh and you will cry again and again and again and again
These simple things I just can't say
Remove the you from you and me
I'll stand to bring you to your knees again and again and again

This story is my silhouette, tainted, starved, and desperate
There's no easy fix for this that I can not control
I'm breaking apart at the soul

Like all your dreams you wind up dead
All those promises I never kept,
I laugh and you will cry again and again and again and again
These simple things I just can't say
Remove the you from you and me
I'll stand to bring you to your knees, again and again and again
