You're telling yourself to take nothing 'cause everything taken will break in your hands you're telling yourself it gets better but "better" is getting fed up with "she said"s So you're telling yourself that it's nothing but "nothing" has never gone straight to your head You're telling yourself it was better but you drive yourself crazy alone in your bed While you're telling that she's worth it you're finding you justify lies that she's said But I promise you now, it's not worth it 'cause everything taken will break in your hand
Don't you feel like we've been diving way too long and we can't be saved?
So as I slept the waves told me your secrets How could you let me be the last to know? You were the only one who could've saved me But you were the only one who didn't care
And then this fell in your lap (whoa-oh, whoa-oh) And yet you fell on your face still (HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP!) And you wasted the night, you let your heart start talkin' instead You couldn't see the infection But I could smell it festering And there's no room to fly in the ambulance tonight
Couldn't you have gone ahead alone I promise you now, you never needed me at all You lost what you were lookin' for and you're digging me up like you buried it in my chest I should've remembered the way you operate with no regard for me Just leave her out of this Just leave me out of this
Her eyes reflected the sun and suddenly he was blinded And he wasted his life he let his sick heart show him the way He thought the stars were projected Each time she looked to the sky at night But the world glowed on while she slept and left him scared and alone
Dear the people of earth, we think you're pretty too. Love, Every star in the sky It's just we're never sure which of you is alive and which is dead
To the stars in the sky, we were wondering where you hide when the ocean fills the atmosphere. And how old is your light? Are you dead behind your glow?
