lyrics
Today, I tied my tongue
And woke up dreaming that I was alive
Well, I saw you wasted and lost out in a parking garage
Was it me, or was it something you were trying to fix?
I passed it up until you passed out on the concrete floor
I couldn’t stomach the sight of it, still…
When the both of our hearts stop beating
I keep my calm and I fake it with a smile
Let things get better for a while
I’ve no complaints
However, I wish for once you’d brood a goddamned moment of what you do
Well, I swear I’d give most anything just to patch things up with you
Show me up, let me down, tell me anything
(Give me drugs, give me pills just to fall asleep)
I was a cadence line amongst the commonfolk
(I chose to hide my face behind a cloud of smoke)
And now that I’ve grown stronger (it is understood)
Well, I can hardly breathe (as if I ever could)
I kissed a girl in April (and then sick in May)
And so I couldn’t make it for your wedding day
If I am here till Wednesday, I am here to stay
When the both of our hearts stop beating
I keep my calm and I fake it with a smile
Let things get better for a while
I’ve no complaints
However, I wish for once you’d brood a goddamned moment of what you do
Well, I swear I’d give most anything just to patch things up with you
I’m a sunk, lost cause, and everything’s changing
Now I’ve lost my point of view, so I wish you well
And I wish you well
This isn’t my idea of safety
Though I guess now I am safe
So I won’t forfeit
No I won’t stop until you end this
(Call it off)
And even if that lasts forever
Nothing changes, now or ever
No, no, no
When the both of our hearts stop beating
I keep my calm and I fake it with a smile
Let things get better for a while
I’ve no complaints
However, I wish for once you’d brood a goddamned moment of what you do
Well, I swear I’d give most anything just to patch things up with you
I’m against all odds, and everything’s changing
Now I’ve lost my future, too, so I wish you well
And I wish you well
This isn’t my idea of safety
Though I guess now I am safe
So I won’t forfeit
No I won’t stop until you end this
And even if that lasts forever
Nothing changes, now or ever
No, no, no
