lyrics

Wish these broken eyes could tell you
all the things that my mouth is scared to
but there's no way my mouth can keep up with my voice.
I would love to write you but I'm terrified to
wait for days for nothing at all.

Two wrongs don't make a right.
Where is there left to go?
There are more subtle ways but i swear it's not for show.
It’s been a six whole years. Oh what can it mean?
I hate that I still care as if I’m seventeen.

But that's just what you do.
You have planted all your
seeds deep down in my blood
and their roots are growing
on and on and on and on and on.

Think of the best parts when I used to be the place
where you rested your weary head.
You can't tell me that you don't.
Late at night when you're all alone.
Or maybe that's just me?
Do I sound so desperate?

I'm cycling through all the letters I wrote you
trying to rebuild the scene.
Where things fell apart and I'm spiraling hard now.
Take me back to that basement scene.

I felt buried alive. I felt buried alive by you
I was anesthetized by the look in your eyes; So full of woe
I felt buried alive. I felt buried alive by you.

I never would've thought the two of us could be torn apart.
But I've since learned my lesson;
Don't let your blessings shroud your heart.
And all I ask of you: Don't you forget the 'I do's'
we could have sworn were real or is that too much to feel?

Cherish the nights when we wouldn't need the lights
cause the ones fixed in your eyes were enough.
And I won't promise to breathe if you don't now swear to me
that you will find someone much better than me.
