Taking Back Sunday - I'll Let You Live lyrics

The first degree was a riot
We're making sure my lesson's learned
I'm not ashamed but I'm trying
I've come to expect the
Standards you have set
Tell me just how dangerous is second best
You've settled for less and I'm
Sure you'll settle again

There's no stopping me i'm gunning you down
(Does this make you feel safe)
There's no stopping this
I'm gunning you down
(Does this make you feel safe)

The closer that I look is just
The further that you get
Already stubborn skin thickens
In attempt to understand understand

There's no stopping me i'm gunning you down
(Does this make you feel safe)
There's no stopping this
I'm gunning you down
(Does this make you feel safe)

I got tired
(got tired) of waiting When (of waiting)
The guilt subsides, the night begins
(still waiting)
I know it's not what you deserve

Came as a gift from a good friend
(a good friend)
That disapproves (but understands)
That you represent and actively encourage
All of my worst habit's they all are
Proof that we're both capable of
The most terrible things don't test me

There's no stopping me i'm gunning you down
(Does this make you feel safe)
There's no stopping this
I'm gunning you down
(does this make you feel safe)

You got tired
(got tired) of waiting when (of waiting)
The guilt subsides (still waiting)
Go up against
I know it's not what you deserve
You got tired
(got tired) of waiting when (of waiting)
The guilt subsides (still waiting)
Go up against
I know it's not what you deserve

How dangerous is second best?
(You've settled for less)
Well I know it's not what you deserve
(It’s not what you deserve)
I know it’s not what you deserve
(I know it’s not what you deserve)
