it's not your fault we didn't fall through
i was just waiting for it all to crash down.
you can live with a stand-in,
just don't blame me when my voice can't cover for you.
i believed i was always wrong.
at least i was the one who would try.
like an abandoned place you call home:
the lights are on in the dead of night.
you can talk back and pretend no matter how hard you try.
i remember the moments when i couldn't see it.
when i paralyzed my head,
i just wanted to shut down and stop my breathing,
quarantine myself from your friends.
and just enough to settle this.
maybe if you want i can understand
what's breaking apart and we're not gonna rebuild.
i know how it's planned to believe we're all enemies.
i'm sick of it.
i know it hurts, it's the only way out of this.
i believed i was always wrong.
at least i was the one who would try.
like an abandoned place you call home:
the lights are off in the dead of night.
so talk back and pretend and live through your lies.
i remember the moments when i couldn't see it.
when i paralyzed my head,
i just wanted to shut down and stop my breathing,
quarantine myself from your friends.
and just enough to settle this.
no need to run, interrupting your words with mine.
stuck in freeze-frame, it always seems fine
to carry this cold and heavy heart.
i'm getting better at finding excuses,
the ones that will keep us far apart.
and i'm just feeling you were always stealing
all the time i could take back.
setting fires that slowly die out,
just forget me and you'll feel fine.
i remember the moments when i couldn't see it.
when i paralyzed my head,
i just wanted to shut down and stop my breathing,
quarantine myself from your friends.
and just enough to settle this.

hey, it's not your fault you don't feel safe.
don't lose your mind today.
you'll feel better when you realize the truth was fake.
and i meant this, won't regret this.
i can't find the hollow feeling i've been looking for...
now i'm stuck into the way you found me, just a stupid optimist.
find me where i'll be missing out
on all the things you used to love and it feels so cold.
stay in with a view from a window,
the best place to watch it unfold.
stay until you find a way, don't leave it all to me.
getting tied into the lies that don't mean anything.
and you meant it, you'll regret it.
i can't find the hollow feeling i've been looking for...
now i'm stuck into the way you found me, just a stupid optimist.
find me where i'll be missing out
on all the things you used to love and it feels so cold.
stay in with a view from a window,
the best place to watch it unfold.
the best view, right from my window,
the best place to watch it unfold.

it's been months you've been fighting sleep
you fooled yourself with the epiphany
they're all gone there's no other way
to figure the burdens
it felt wrong in every way
for leaving you out on your own
and now it came back to haunt me
and now you're telling me now it all just seems absurd
you want to plan your life with no point of return
it was fun at first but will you ever learn
it's only worth the rush if we can come back home
but i, i want to combat what you've heard
i want to savour every word this time
but i, i hope it hits you in the face
i hope it scares you every day this life
left a note you vanished again
alienated by your best of friends
holes in the walls, your knuckles bled
is it still a game now?
you need a voice of reason
veered in the wrong direction
so stay on land for the risk that you might sink

this is what i want to say before i make a mistake:
"my heart is heavy and my lungs will cause my words to decay".
i felt emotionless until my face revealed that i'm not.
you smiled sadly when you told me that i missed with the first shot.
you shed a tear for the sunset (i missed with the first shot).
i think you're better without me.
i heard it in my head
when you walked away and told me to forget.
you saw it in my face,
then you looked away and understood my mistake.
candle burning down,
my time is running out.
i'm learning to forget,
i shed a tear for the sunset.
save yourself and let me leave you behind.
save your breath but tell me this is what's right.
so tell me this is what's right.
you glanced and stared at the sunset.
i think you're better without me.
i heard it in my head
when you walked away and told me to forget.
you saw it in my face,
then you looked away and understood my mistake.
i never thought that it would come to an end.
unfair apologies i wish i'd never said.
i think you're better without me.
i heard it in my head
when you walked away and told me to forget.
you saw it in my face ,
then you looked away and understood my mistake.
