lyrics
work my fingers to the bone
lie and tell myself i’m better off alone
i am stuck running scared
out of breath and ill prepared
few things last
nothing’s ever set in stone.
we tempted fate
just to save face
after our fall from grace
try to disguise
cover with lies
choices that we despise
you’re supposed to be
stronger than me
or so you’d like to think.
instead i’ll hide
pretend it’s fine
nursing this heart of mine.
it’s safe to say
we did our best to slow things down
to stay the same
sit in a cage
made up of our mistakes
sit in the dark
drifting apart
both sick of stop and start
escape the mess
smoke and have sex
go numb avoid the stress
we overthink
dive in the drink
which never solved a thing
just go to sleep
fall back and dream
brains bursting at the seams
we’ve grown cold
patience thin
fighting a battle that neither will ever win
