New Standards

[Verse]
So I heard you're looking for a lease on life
I wish you luck in your endeavors
You have your mistakes and I have mine
Plenty more to share when we get older

If I had a dollar for every lie I’ve told
We'd never really know the total
Apologies only go so far
When you've known the truth all along

[Chorus]
A conversation waiting to start
And this will bend or break our hearts
It wasn’t fair in love or war
It's time to walk out that door

[Solo]

[Verse]
I'll bet that all those times I got under your skin
You don't miss them likе you say you miss me
What a change I've been ablе to make without you by my side
What a shame that I couldn't have taken you on the ride

[Chorus]
I think we're better off this way
It's hard to tell the difference when your heart’s at stake
The door has stayed unlocked
A conversation waiting to start

We watched every expectation
Crashing down wordlessly
We watched as the shackles, rusted and poisoning me
Finally loosened and let me free

[Bridge]
You can’t hold me down anymore
I'm the only one that will screw me over
And everything I ever try
Hands burnt over a flame trying not to let it die
