I just wish you\'d open up your arms to me
but its to late for that now
your already gone
and its over between us
it never really was
it was built on false dreams
things that seemed
to be ok
but it never turns out
the way it does
in fairytales
make believe
is something that we all do
but dream come true
is not for me and you
happily ever after
broke me into two
oh oh
oh oh ohhhhh
(chorus)
paste a target on my back
why dont you
attach it with a sharpened thumbtack
throw the knife
and hit me
square in the back
and you win my broken heart
its what you did to me
fooled my eyes to see
i had a chance with you
its not true
woah woah oh
i lie to myself
woah woah oh
stabbed in the back
black
the color of my heart
broken in two
red
the color of the blood
dripping from the knife
blue
the color of my body
cold and bruised
because of you
ive been torn in two
(chorus)
paste a target on my back
why dont you
attach it with a sharpened thumbtack
throw the knife
and hit me
square in the back
and you win my broken heart
its what you did to me
fooled my eyes to see
i had a chance with you
its not true
woah woah oh
i lie to myself
woah woah oh
stabbed in the back
its makes me laugh
knowing that you have no clue
that you did this to me
you didnt even know
that i loved you so
but suddenly
its gone
my hopes and dreams so feeble
shattered again
just like every other
dream i thought would come true
simple words
ive given up on you
(chorus)
paste a target on my back
why dont you
attach it with a sharpened thumbtack
throw the knife
and hit me
square in the back
and you win my broken heart
its what you did to me
fooled my eyes to see
i had a chance with you
its not true
woah woah oh
i lie to myself
woah woah oh
stabbed in the back
so i failed myself
its not even your fault
its all my own
that im like this
my heart is hard cold stone
and im dying
slowly
im building up the wall
with a part of me
that i want to hide
and cover up from me
(bridge)
and im suprised
that the uprised
arent calling out
run away
cause im running from myself
the target on my back slowing my stealth
fumbling on the hard floor
pulling on the cold closed door
thats blocking
me from you
(chorus)
paste a target on my back
why dont you
attach it with a sharpened thumbtack
throw the knife
and hit me
square in the back
and you win my broken heart
its what you did to me
fooled my eyes to see
i had a chance with you
its not true
woah woah oh
i lie to myself
woah woah oh
stabbed in the back
