The Academy Is...: Checkmarks

So there you are, and here I stand
As far as I remember, you weren't half bad
Your bedroom behavior was never more then checkmarks on bedposts
The more I remember we never had

Get me out of the rain, you get me out of my clothes
Hope I don't make a sound, you hope that nobody knows
Get me out of the rain, get me out of my clothes
Hope I don't make a sound, you hope that no one...

So suck your so-called pity down
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths

So suck your so called pity down
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths

So don't explain
'Cause I know exactly what you're going to say
Big words, recycled phrases
And the bittersweet taste of other boys on your lips
So now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all
Now just sit here and talk about how you wanted it all

Get me out of the rain, you get me out of my clothes
Hope I don't make a sound, you hope that nobody knows

So suck your so-called pity down
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths

So suck your so-called pity down
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths

Do you miss looking up from the floor at my face on a stage in a crowded room?
Well it's not the same
I bet you're still a sucker for those famous faces
Downtown, looking down, down, looking over the crowd
I hope you're out there looking at me now
Well it's not the same
Just look at how we've changed

So suck your so-called pity down
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths

So suck your so-called pity down
Hey, that's not so bad, is it?
So take your cold, cold heart and drown
And don't forget to take deep breaths
