Not So Bad

[Verse]
It's not like you to mean what you say
You act so serious when you're ashamed
Don't kid yourself
Just to spite you I'll stand in your way
Don't ask too much and expect me to change
I'll only miss you when you're gone
I don't give and not take
Tell me what page you're on
When all of our past mistakes

[Pre-Chorus]
Fall into place like numbers in your cold dead mind
When you don't know why
And it's a long time coming, but it's worth your while
Oh

[Chorus]
But if it's not so bad
We'll stick to what we had
We can pretend that it gets better
And I'd take a break if I
Wanted to waste my time
Knowing we can't hold on forever
Don't blame it on fate, if you do
I'll make it your problem too
It's okay that that's exactly what you want (shining sea)
The liminal state in between
What we want and what we need
Doesn't seem to feel like shelter anymore

[Verse]
It's not like me to say what I mean
Feigning indifference just to feel clean
I might as well
Tread too lightly so nobody sees
And swear that my motive's not all that it seems
And run that mental marathon
I don't bend and not break
And if I'm stuck in the past or I'm moving too fast
Let me know

[Chorus]
But if it's not so bad
We gave it all we had
Even if we don't know no better
And I'd take a break if I
Wanted to waste my time
But just in case I won't say never
Don't say that it won't stay the same
It'll always be this way
'Cause it's fate that keeps me halfway out the door (finally)
The liminal state in between
What we want and what we need
Doesn't seem to feel like mercy anymore

[Bridge]
Don't know when to shut your mouth
Better pack your bags and sell this house
I still pray 'cause I'm afraid to go back home
And you'll tell me I take it out
On the people that I care about
And maybe that's the reason I'm alone

[Outro]
But maybe it's not so bad
Didn't know what I had
But I guess nothing lasts forever
I'm not ashamed this time
Crossing the fine white line
Thought I could save you but whatever
