Breaking December Letra

My estrangement in this arrangement, you don't get to make the rules

If it makes me a bastard, then I hope to God it hurts
A little harm from wrist to arm with self-inflicted lighter burns
In the eyes of your father, well I hope you made him proud
You don't know how far the rabbit hole goes down

Make believe we had our fun
Make believe we had it all
Maybe we're breaking up
A promise you will never remember
Make believe we got it right
Maybe we couldn't last one night
Maybe we're breaking up
The promises of breaking December

"And you know it will never be, It will never be what you want it to..."

So thats how it's been now, and these five years have gotten me far
I don't think about you that much but when I do, I think about it hard
If it helps you remember, than you'll look back on the nights
the tears that fall during an endless call, your chin held proud over a knife

And just if you're wondering, I won't drag your name through town
The cavalcade of shit-storms brewing, the rain poured through the thunderclouds
And just if you're wondering, I won't return to that place
You won't see the past etched in lines upon my face

Make believe we had our fun
Make believe we had it all
Maybe we're breaking up
A promise you will never remember
Make believe we got it right
Maybe we couldn't last one night
Maybe we're breaking up
The promises, I'm breaking December

Red Rover, Red Rover, send Danny right over
I can't let go of it, I've felt what it's like
Red Rover, Red Rover, send Danny right over
To feel like a man again, and do what is right
Red Rover, Red Rover, send Danny right over
You said those three words
Red Rover, Red Rover, my cup runneth over
So say it again, say it again

"And you know it will never be, It will never be what you want it to..."

Make believe we had our fun
Make believe we had it all
Maybe we're breaking up
A promise you will never remember
Make believe we got it right
Maybe we couldn't last one night
Maybe we're breaking up
The promises, I'm breaking December

Make believe, Make believe, Make believe
A promise you will never rememeber
Make believe we had it all
Maybe I'll catch you if you fall
But I think we're breaking up
Our promises, I'm breaking December

"And you know it will never be, It will never be what you want it to..."
