[Verse 1]
And I sat by and watched
As everything that I sat by and watched
Slowly fell to shit
And you asked me who I'd been before
As we piled towels against the door
To not let off the smoke alarm down the hall
And I said someone you never would have met
And you asked me why I was so scared
As we set fire to our bed
It was something I'd suggested
What I fear most is my own head
And we talked Bonnie and Clyde
And about all the extra time
We'd have to set up and divide ourselves
[Chorus]
But I'm not gonna lie to you
Lately, I've been thinking of giving up
Using the gifts that I've surely squandered on
Something less reliant on luck
And I haven't slept properly since 2006
But I've had some of the most glorious moments of happiness
[Verse 2]
And I turned off my phone again
And let's get lost in what is left
Of memories, of happy times
We'll reminisce and not regret
And your eyes can tell me everything
And I hope you know I'm lying
And when reality kicks in
You know I loved you more and more
But I am scared of what I've done
And I am scared of what's to come
But I know I've done nothing wrong
Since the night we met
Because you kept me alive
And gave me reasons to survive
And I'll take you away from here
By any means I can
[Chorus]
But I'm not gonna lie to you
Lately, I've been thinking of giving up
Using the gifts that I've surely squandered on
Something less reliant on luck
And I haven't slept properly since 2006
But I've had some of the most glorious moments of happiness
[Outro]
We scattered like cigarette butts in a sea breeze
I wish I could inhale the ocean, make my body clean
And the drugs, they work
It's just that I don't
