Taking Back Sunday - This Is Happening lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm not sure I couldn't tell If I took it upright, if I took it well Saw it coming from far away This is happening I did everything that you asked of me Change some words around until finally You were satisfied, you saw dollar signs Earned your bragging rights Behind my white knuckles, smiled my crooked teeth Hold back that awful, rotting stink of what I like to say When you ask me what I think [Chorus] There's a man behind the curtain now the magic is gone Nothing much is showing except some blood on the walls And when you're good and broken, when the moment is right You'll show up with that smile Strung-out and stuck between (you're the opposite of interesting) Strung-out and stuck between (I'm the opposite of interesting) Strung-out and stuck between (they have, they taught us everything) Stuck in between the past and what comes next [Verse 2] It's getting harder, I can't recall What all this means to me through all This night intrusion, in double speak Tore the floor out from underneath I did everything that you asked of me Triple tied my tongue, and I went quietly This is happening This is happening [Chorus] [Lowly screamed in background] Oh my god, you said, I just wanna be gone, right now Yet you'll stay if you want I don't care what you say, Should I just get up and go God, god, god, God damn [Chorus] It slowly bleeds you dry [Outro] I couldn't give a sh**, I really couldn't give a sh**
