lyrics
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.
