Taking Back Sunday Lyrics

11. I'll Let You Live

The first degree was a riot
We're making sure my lesson's learned
I'm not ashamed but I'm trying
I've come to expect the standards you have set...
Tell me just how dangerous is second best
You've settled for less and I'm sure you'll settle again

There's no stopping me; I'm gutting you out
Does this make you feel safe?
There's no stopping this; I'm gutting you out
Does this make you feel safe?

The closer that I look is just the further that you get
Already, stubborn skin thickens in attempt to understand
Understand...

There's no stopping me; I'm gutting you out
Does this make you feel safe?
There's no stopping this; I'm gutting you out
Does this make you feel safe?
You've got time (got time); I'm waiting (I'm waiting)
When the guilt subsides, (still waiting) the night begins
And I know it's not what you deserve

Came as a gift from a good friend, a good friend
That disapproves, but understands
That you represent and actively encourage
All of my worst habits, they all are
Proof that we're both capable of the most terrible things
Don't test me

There's no stopping me; I'm gutting you out
Does this make you feel safe?
There's no stopping this; I'm gutting you out
Does this make you feel safe?
You've got time (got time); I'm waiting (I'm waiting)
When the guilt subsides, (still waiting) the night begins
And I know it's not what you deserve
You've got time (got time); I'm waiting (I'm waiting)
When the guilt subsides, (still waiting) the night begins
And I know it's not what you deserve

How dangerous is second best?
(You'll settle for less)
(You'll settle for less)

Well I know it's not what you deserve
It's not what you deserve
I know it's not what you deserve
I know it's not what you deserve
