Tick Tock
I can't help it

Tick Tock
I can't help that when I am alone
I see you with her

Tick Tock
All the seconds I see you kissing her 
When you promised me
Forever

Tick Tock
I can't tell you how I feel
But the seconds keep going by. 
And every second that goes by

Tick Tock
I feel like I never even had you to begin with

Tick Tock
You run off to her. 
Because she keeps your bed warm at night

Tick Tock
You think I don't know

Tick Tock
But when you kiss me
When you hug me

Tick Tock
I know it isn't for me anymore
She won
I lost

Tick Tock
And now I have nothing
But empty sheets
And a gun
That promises sanity
