I'd Rather Drown Lyrics - Set It Off

Thanks for treating me like every boy you meet 

So please come in and take a seat 

Here's the part when I learn, and you will teach 

On how to treat people like a piece of meat 

I want a genuine, not a replica 

Lethal medicine, a pin to the cornea 

A sight for sore eyes 

While other guys consume the lie, I'll run and hide 

No doors exist on my fortress 

The only entrance is the one I bear 

You're nothing more than a temptress 

I fell victim to a heartless snare 

Burn the bitch down 

I never will cross that bridge again 

I cannot trust you easily 

Or think that I'm the only one 

I never let people in, and I have you to remind me why 

So baby burn the bitch down 

I never will cross that bridge again 

I'd rather drown 

I'm the master of construction 

Because I'm building walls like it's my occupation 

If you portray a liar, I'll shut you out without hesitation 

It's an art form of consummate skill 

Oh how she plays them like the pawn 

Making boys drool at her will 

Like Pavlov to the dogs 

No doors exist on my fortress 

The only entrance is the one not there 

You're nothing more than a temptress 

I fell victim to a heartless snare 

Burn the bitch down 

I never will cross that bridge again 

I cannot trust you easily 

Or think that I'm the only one 

I never let people in, and I have you to remind me why 

So baby burn the bitch down 

I never will cross that bridge again 

I'd rather, I'd rather, I'd rather 

Drown me, slit my throat so lightly 

Pick me up and drop me right into my grave 

And now I wonder, sit alone and ponder 

Should I even bother, when I see your face? 

The itch I couldn't scratch 

Thought I'd come crawling back but no 

I'd much rather, rather, rather, rather, rather 

I'd rather burn the bitch down 

I never will cross that bridge again 

I cannot trust you easily 

Or think that I'm the only one 

I never let people in, and I have you to remind me why 

So baby burn the bitch down, I never will cross that bridge again 

Go ahead and burn the bridge right down, it's what you wanted 

Burn the bridge right down 

I'm not the only one, the only one 

So baby burn the bitch down, I never will cross that bridge again 

I'd rather drown
