Five Seconds Faster

Who are you supposed to turn to
When your best friend is the one you’ve hurt
In one way or another
How are we supposed to deal
With all this pain we feel
When there’s no one we can
Count on
Do you know how horrible you made me feel?

I should have seen this coming
I should have known seeing that
You’re all the same
But still I was the last to know
And if I had figured out
What you were planning
Five Seconds Faster
I wouldn’t be in this mess

And still you’re trying to talk to me
Like nothing’s wrong
Like you didn’t make me
Feel like the worst person in the world
And did you forget
All the stuff you put me through?
Did you forget
That you lied straight to my face?
Never once looking back
Except to admire the damage
You caused

I should have seen this coming
I should have known seeing that
You’re all the same
But still I was the last to know
And if I had figured out
What you were planning
Five Seconds Faster
I wouldn’t be in this mess

But I’m not gonna let you hurt me again
I’m not about to let you
Make me feel small
Because that would only help the cause

You could call it torture
Knowing you weren’t who
I thought you were
I should have known
I should have known better
One more thing TELL ME
Why.

I should have seen this coming
I should have known seeing that
You’re all the same
But still I was the last to know
And if I had figured out
What you were planning
Five Seconds Faster
I wouldn’t be such a mess

Five Seconds Faster
And I wouldn’t be such a mess
