You turn me off at the push of a button
And you pretend that I don't mean nothing
I'm not a saint, that's easy to tell
But guess what honey? you ain't no angel
You like to scream use words as a weapon
Well go ahead take your best shot woman
I wanna leave you, it's easy to see
But guess what honey it's not that easy

We get so complicated (complicated)
This finger's for our memories

So rip my pictures from your wall
Tear them down, and burn them all
Light the fire and walk away
There's nothing left to say, so
Take the ashes from the floor
Bury them to just make sure
That nothing more is left of me
Just bittersweet memories

I wanna run and escape from your prison,
But when I leave I feel something is missing.
I'm not afraid that's easy to tell,
This can't be heaven,
It feels like I'm in hell.
You're like a drug that I can't stop taking,
I want more and I can't stop craving.
I still want you it's easy to see,
But guess what honey?
You're not that good for me.

We get so complicated (complicated),
This finger's for our memories.

So rip my pictures from your wall,
Tear them down, and burn them all.
Light the fire and walk away,
There's nothing left to say, so,
Take the ashes from the floor,
Bury them to just make sure,
That nothing more is left of me,
Just bittersweet memories.

Just bittersweet memories.

We get so complicated (complicated),
This finger's for our memories.

We get so complicated.

So rip my pictures from your wall,
Tear them down, and burn them all.
Light the fire and walk away,
There's nothing left to say, so,
Take the ashes from the floor,
Bury them to just make sure,
That nothing more is left of me,
Just bittersweet memories.

There's nothing left to say.
There's nothing left to say.

    General Comment:This song reminded me of two guys (I’m a girl) I liked. One I liked it was like love at first sight for me I saw him then I just liked him after. And I told him liked him but he didn’t feel the same way. So I tried to get over him ended up liking him for 6th months. and I finally got over him and liked another guy this guy he knew I liked him but lead me on for a while and one day I saw the way he looked at this girl, plus he stopped talking to me and I knew it was too good to be true. I got over him and he dated that girl he liked as I said him lead me on. I wanted him to forget everything I was hurt but he did forget. Then back to the first guy I talked about we started talking to again and I found myself slowly falling for him again no matter what I always liked him my feelings for him were always there.

    General Comment:Personally, I think there are two different meanings behind it. Many only see the obvious. Some, like myself, dig deeper. The obvious would be about a loved one but if you pay attention to the video, Matthew Tuck shows the other meaning. I believe it's also about a parent; a mother to be exact. I think it could be a person's pure hatred for their mother and finally being able to build up the courage to tell their mother to leave them alone. But then again, that's my personal opinion.

    My Interpretation:This reminds me of my exboyfriend (which i had to add, cause everyone is saying ex-gf, and i'm like, time to represent the female fans). basically we were getting close again and i was thinking about dating him again, but things are really complex, and i just want a simple relationship, so i decided to go out with this guy i've had a crush on for about a year. Now he's really pissed at me, and shit. i'm sick of his getting pissy and hurting me, cause he did almost the exact same thing when we broke up, calling me a lying, cheating whore (not true), and a lot more.
    this is basically the song i want to send him, or "Alone", cause he needs to get over himself and understand that if he doesn't wanna get hurt he should just go live as a hermit, cause that's love. and if he doesn't want to get hurt by me, then 'rip my pictures from your wall' cause 'it gets so complicated' i'm sick of it and so 'this finger's for our memories'

    i <3 BFMV!!! (i'm actually listening to them on my iTouch right now ^_^)

    My Opinion:im totally a big fan of b.f.m.v. as it is so im automatically gonna like the song haven't really found one by them that i don't like. i also dig breakup songs hell everybody can relate to em butt to me they just kinda came outt with one thats different from most all of the other break-up songs which is always cool to me i luv when someone comes out with somethin different. im still nott exactly sure wutt makes there's different to me butt it just is.
    on a different note i don't see how anyone can diss the band cause man they just gott it all and they combine so many things together to make some kick ass music. pretty much everyone joins in and can scream/yell wutt-ever you wanna call it and it's always awesome to see a singer who can go from a strong evil growl to singing. that and they're one of the only bands i can go to work putt my headphones on and either gett strong motivational music or if im down listen to some down songs all being the same band. sorry i know this gott off the song butt i zone out and really gett into music sometimes :)

    General Comment:ok, corrections! hahaha sorry just hate mistakes...
    "You turn me off like the push of a button" is supposed to be
    "You turn me off at the push of a button"

    "Then you pretend that I don't mean nothing" is supposed to be
    "And you pretend that I don't mean nothin'"

    "You like to scream these words as a weapon" is supposed to be
    "You like to scream, use words as a weapon"

    "This thing is full of memories" OMG such a big mistake hahaha
    "This finger's for our memories" is correct
    All from the album's booklet...
