Lyrics for I'm Only Here To Disappoint

Well I'm hurting for someone else to feel this 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 you 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
