[Verse 1]
And once again it's all been blown to hell
It always seems to be the same way
As he pretends that he is something else
The devil tries to play the saint
[Pre-Chorus]
He'll just watch you twist and turn
Laughing all the way
[Chorus]
Breathe it in, breathe it out
It's up to you, stand your ground
Don't let him get his way
He pulls you in, tears you down
In the end there's no doubt
Oh, you're gonna live to rue the day
[Verse 2]
What's coming next?
Judgement for all the schemes?
God, I detest thе things I've seen
Don't fail the test
Rеvenge is fantasy
Eye for an eye
Not meant to be, no
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't fall prey
And don't give in
[Chorus]
Breathe it in, breathe it out
It's up to you, stand your ground
Don't let him get his way
He pulls you in, tears you down
In the end there's no doubt
Oh, you're gonna live to rue the day
Live to rue the day
[Bridge]
Just like the desert sun
The respite never comes
Day in, day out, it's never ending
Constructs of ill intent
Have filled your heart again
Please find the center and let go, oh
[Interlude]
Even though you've done no wrong
You fear you're not that strong
Though part of you is dead and gone
You still have control
[Chorus]
Breathe it in, breathe it out
It's up to you, stand your ground
Don't let him get his way
He pulls you in, tears you down
In the end there's no doubt
Oh, you're gonna live to rue the day
[Outro]
Live to rue the day
