[Verse 1]
I've arrived here on the floor
Climbing up the walls and I think I've been caught
Take my words for when we're away
I tell them to my back almost every day
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I could never wait, so I'm in the divide
Every interchange sits alone in my mind
Can't you just explain when you see me alive?
Show me you're restrained by a similar vice
[Chorus]
I never thought that I could be so wrong
Oh I keep hoping that they're walking on
We're always thinking I would see this right
You know that I'd run and hide
If you'd ever let me try
I never struggled to be on my own
Oh it's no wonder if I let you go
The disappointment that dissolves my means
You know what it means to me
We can keep on recklessly
[Verse 2]
In the dark, a method of choice
I'm busting through the roof to the sound of the void
Get a text from Abbey Vares
She can keep my lies, hidden under her head
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don't think a lot as I'm rushing around
I could call you up and then see you in town
All that we'd forgone, never seemed un-avowed
Tell me it's enough when you're pulling me down
[Chorus]
I never thought that I could be so wrong
Oh I keep hoping that they're walking on
We're always thinking I would see this right
You know that I'd run and hide
If you'd ever let me try
I never struggled to be on my own
Oh it's no wonder if I let you go
The disappointment that dissolves my means
You know what it means to me
We can keep on recklessly
[Bridge]
You were the best one who cared
Then you took more than a quarter
Everything here is too weird
But I feared that you're here
And not under the slaughter
[Chorus]
I never struggled to be on my own
No wonder that I let you go
The disappointment that was plain to see
That was what it meant to me
When you shook me endlessly
[Chorus]
I never thought that I could be so wrong
Oh I keep hoping that they're walking on
We're always thinking I would see this right
You know that I'd run and hide
If you'd ever let me try
I never struggled to be on my own
Oh it's no wonder if I let you go
The disappointment that dissolves my means
You know what it means to me
We can keep on recklessly
