lyrics

Waste away waiting on you.
It’s a shame...
I’d waste my time on you,
If you’d want me to,
I fall for it every time...

Reach out!
Can’t you notice you’re not the only one who’s strung out?
(The only one who’s filled with doubts?)
If you’d just take me as I am, I’d pull us out of this haze.
Put down your chemistry set. Just stay awake!

I would do anything if I felt like you would stay,
But with the door there,
Would you just turn around and just walk away?

I never thought I would be here.
I’m lower than I’ve been before.
As I watch you fade out...
I’m just waiting for you to fill the holes you’ve formed.

I wish I knew what you were thinking.
Have you noticed or can you see anything at all?
Every time you start to walk away,
You tune out all those who stand by you.
What happens when no one’s left?
You left your garbage inside my car, bitch,
And I’ll never let you live that down.
Your lungs feel so shallow now.
You can’t accept that this is all we’re capable of.

With the lies you sold,
Scored with a tongue like the edge of a sword.

I’d be lying if I said this was ideal.
I just keep opening the wounds instead of letting any heal.
I’ve never asked the question, “is this really what I need?”
But have I learned my lesson, that my time is not cheap?

Waiting for something to give (wasting my time).
Seeing myself…
I guess that I’m okay with this deprivation.
Let’s count every flaw.
(Is this enough?)
Keep stumbling on a list that’s so long.
(Just show me some love. Is this not enough?)
We could’ve been better than this.
(Just show me some love!)
Was it all a mistake to think this pattern could break?
(Just go I’ve had enough!)

I’m sorry for not being someone worth fighting for.
I’ve never felt so blind.
Are you too short sighted to see this through?
If this is you just being honest then...
Forgive me for feeling the exit wounds.
