[Verse 1]
Forty stories up, it's night and day
Never met but I could guess your name
Said you reminded me of home
In all of that time, we barely spoke
So lessons learned can quickly be erased
Pouring forties down the kitchen sink
All your talking, I can't hear me think
Pushing, pulling sees me on the brink
If it's all or nothing, let's break off these links
All of the best guys made you whole
All of the rest I'll never know
If this is a test, I'll take my leavе
And I'm on the run

[Chorus]
But now that I'm on the run
Think I got it wrong, really all along
You wеre just a masterpiece
Masterpiece
Chewing on Valium
The jet is taking off, I can feel the rot spreading
It's a killer disease
Killer disease
To say it would hurt too much
So I boil it down, bottle it up
And drink it like a remedy
No good for me
And now that I'm on the run
Know I got it wrong, really all along
You were just a masterpiece
Masterpiece
[Verse 2]
There's a place I could not let you in
Now there's a lot to tell you, so listen
I was keeping you out 'cause I've been hurt before
Becoming a coward and I hate myself more
I'm not proud, but looking back now, I had to run

[Chorus]
Now that I'm on the run
Think I got it wrong, really all along
You were just a masterpiece
Masterpiece
Chewing on Valium
The jet is taking off, I can feel the rot spreading
It's a killer disease
Killer disease
To say it would hurt too much
So I boil it down, bottle it up
And drink it like a remedy
No good for me
And now that I'm on the run
Know I got it wrong, really all along
You were just a masterpiece
Masterpiece

[Bridge]
So with or without me
Still felt you were drowning
With so many options
You pick the worst timing
We don't talk about it
Don't talk about anything
My love didn't stop when
I cut it all off, and
I cut it all off and began to run
[Chorus]
But now that I'm on the run
Think I got it wrong, really all along
You were just a masterpiece
Masterpiece
Chewing on Valium
The jet is taking off, I can feel the rot spreading
It's a killer disease
Killer disease
To say it would hurt too much
So I boil it down, bottle it up
And drink it like a remedy
No good for me
And now that I'm on the run
Know I got it wrong, really all along
You were just a masterpiece
Masterpiece
