You know, I'm sorry I won't make it to your party Got caught up in my own selfishness It won't let me be a part of this And I know I've started Drifting off every second I can't wait to leave as soon as I arrive I count the seconds Down and down we go We'll torch this place we know Before one of us takes a chance And breaks this, I won't be the one No, I won't be the one I know it's pathetic F*ck it, yeah, I said it Tried to tell it like it is There's a chance that I'll regret it, so Let's go, let's end this I delete before I send it And we can play pretend Like we haven't reached the end yet Down and down we go And we'll torch this place we know Before one of us takes a chance And breaks this, I won't be the one No, I won't be the one (You know, I'm sorry) (I'm sorry) No, I won't be the one No, I won't be the one
