[Verse 1]
Maybe I couldn't give you
Everything that you want
Maybe I should have put your feelings first
For once
'Cause I will want what I can't get
Till I'm dead in the ground
And the light that you hold
Goes out
[Verse 2]
If I send a letter
Would you read it alone?
Am I still a contender
Or have you moved on?
'Cause I've been trapped in my gla** house
So long on my own
I'm so glad that you threw
Your stone
You wrote upon it, "You're the one"
It said upon it, "You're the one"
[Chorus]
And the tears you can taste
Are not just DNA
I watched our luck decay
And like a bird I preyed
I'm a virus and you're
The placebo, not the cure
No, no, that strain you can't erase
It's in my DNA
[Verse 3]
Maybe I'm outnumbered
Well, I won't be outgunned
I rise from the ashes, I won't sink
In the mud
'Cause we're not just ones and zeros
We're so much more
And you've gotta find out
Or the credits roll
[Chorus]
And the tears you can taste
Are not just DNA
I watched our luck decay
And like a bird I preyed
I'm a virus and you're
The placebo, not the cure
Its poison never works
It only makes me worse
[Chorus]
And the tears you can taste
Are not just DNA
They showed that we're the same
And I washed them all away
'Cause I'm a virus and you're
Out looking for the cure
No, no, that strain you can't erase
It's in my DNA
That strain you can't erase
It's in my DNA
