about

"Casualty" profoundly depicts feeling misled, disappointed, and heartbroken after a breakup.

lyrics

The words that you said
Surely I can comprehend
They're blurring and they bend
The lines between lovers and friends...
You give then you take
This circle is our favorite shape
We're begging to escape
It's here we spin anyway...

You said you're a dancer
But you never danced for me
You act like my lover
You'll never be in love with me
You spoke like a preacher
And made a believer out of me
You're just a fighter
And I'm just your casualty

Who you left here to watch you leave
Who you left here to watch you leave

My favorite mistake
Was giving you my heart to break
It never beats the same
Cause yours was one to never claim

(chorus)

I can't explain why I can't stay, why I can't leave
My pride and my pain will surely be the end of me
Would you take the blame, the one I love, my enemy?
Cause you own self-hate, maybe even more than me
And now love is stained, feeding insecurity
But don't be afraid of anything the world will think
Cause when love's this great
There's endless possibility
And that's why I'll wait
Like there's no time....

(chorus)
