lyrics

i'm just scared to let go of this sadness
even if it's overdue
because it breaks my heart to lose this sadness
when it's all that i have left of you

i swear i'll fix this somehow
cause who i was just wasn't working out
and if these pills make me someone else
i can think of worse things to happen
and when i think about the hand i'm dealt
and god i don't really wanna think about
all the people who walked away and then
never came back again

i need to give my friends a hard earned break
cause i've been more than anyone should be asked to take
i can't count the nights i almost drown in this flood
or the times i begged for the pressure of my blood
to put an end to this

i swear i'll fix this somehow
cause who i was just wasn't working out
and if these pills make me someone else
i can think of worse things to happen
and when i think about the hand i'm dealt
and god i don't really wanna think about
all the people who walked away and then
never came back again

i've accepted this silence
instead of your sound
we fell into each other so fast
we burned up before we hit the ground

i swear i'll fix this somehow
cause who i was just wasn't working out
and if these pills make me someone else
i can think of worse things to happen
and when i think about the hand i'm dealt
and god i don't really wanna think about
all the people who walked away and then
never came back again

never came back again

and i can see you, your brown skin shining in the sun
you got your hair pulled back and those wayfarers on, baby
and i can tell you, my love for you will still be strong
after the boys of bummer are gone
and i can tell you, this heart of mine will still remain
after this god damn depression has waned
