Lyrics Vanity and Greed - Silverstein

Vanity and Greed

Don’t say you miss me yet, I must concede
There’s something I have to explain
It isn’t easy playing your way
I can’t even begin to say
I’m taking back my conscience
I’m gonna take control
I’ve seen the bravest lions shy away
I’ve seen the tallest tress fall down
I’ve made a hobby of self-deprecating
my honesty and my integrity
Don’t let me drag you down
Don’t say goodnight, say goodbye
(say goodbye)
You can’t mend a scar
(mend a scar)
You can’t fix a shattered heart
Don’t even try
I’ll sell you every ounce of honesty
you’ll buy it all and lie with me
I can’t pretend there’s any truth to me
It’s all just vanity and greed
I’m taking all your karma
I’m gonna need it more
Don’t say goodnight, say goodbye
(say goodbye)
You can’t mend a scar
(mend a scar)
You can’t fix a shattered heart
Don’t even try
Here’s my advice if you know what’s good for you
Don’t let your guard down, don’t let your guard down
Here’s my advice if you know what’s good for you
Don’t let your guard down, don’t let your guard down
Here’s my advice if you know what’s good for you
Don’t let your guard down, don’t let your guard down
Here’s my advice if you know what’s good for you
Don’t let your guard down, don’t let your guard down now
Don’t let me drag you down
Don’t say goodnight, say goodbye
(say goodbye)
You can’t mend a scar
(mend a scar)
You can’t fix a shattered heart
Don’t even try
Don’t say goodnight, say goodbye
(say goodbye)
You can’t mend a scar
(mend a scar)
You can’t fix a shattered heart
Don’t even try
I’m taking back my conscience
I’m gonna take control
I’m taking all your karma
I’m gonna need it more
