lyrics

I would take the weight of the world If that’s what you wanted from me. Read my face,
I’m here with you
Stuck right where I wanted to be

When we breathe, we gasp
We fail to grasp anything better than we’ve got When we lost our trust, we turned to rust
Only got stiffer as we fought

I feel like my words were used against me
But I have no real defense, see?
I guess that I never saw this all turning out wrong.

Can you tell me what -- (It’s like for you) It’s like out there on the outside.
Does it fill you up? -- (Like I always do) With thoughts of places you’d rather be

When we breathe, we gasp
We fail to grasp anything better than we’ve got When we lost our trust, we turned to lust Could we be better than we thought?

Will you remember I exist
When passion turns to politics?
We’ll throw them out and see what sticks, The fragments we forgot to fix
I felt the distance building in between,
But never thought that you’d be out of reach.
I looked away for a second and you were gone.

I feel like my words were used against me
But I have no real defense, see?
I guess that I never saw this all turning out wrong.
I know that there’s something that you still need. But I’m playing make-believe
I guess that I never saw this all turning out wrong. I guess that I never saw this all turning out wrong.
