Remains

[Verse 1]
No, I'm fine, I don't mind, he just drives her around-
Well he used to drive me, but that's another time
And I don't hold a grudge, but he knows me enough
To know that I might be lying
And I'm holding her up when it's four and I'm stuck
With my thoughts in a spiral I will
Say in the morning, "It's not your thing
Let it go" but I don't, I might be as bad as her

[Verse 2]
If I'm holding on to you
Is it only through a need to have it all?
If you like your someone new
Who is she now who questions?
Let the tide turn, let the fire burn
I know I left you here, know I disappeared
I don't need love, we don't need us
But can we take the pain away?

[Interlude]
'Cause I know how it burns
I'm alive amen't I? Well that could be a sign
That I can be alright and have you on my mind
And I doubt that you're mine, but you're back
Every time that I think you're not gonna be there
I just find you remind me of all that we had
And I can't get it back, gotta live with it
I don't see how you plough on
You're making me take the pain away

[Chorus]
'Cause I know how it burns
Running through my veins
No, I don't wanna know about her
When I'm still believing
Somehow things can be the same
I don't wanna hurt, what a crying shame
No, I just wanna, I just wanna hold on to all that remains

[Verse 3]
I know she doesn't like me
I know your friends think we shouldn't be so close
But you and me know that we don't come apart
You're a part of my restless heart
And it would be better if I could let you
Commit to everything I'm not
But I'm sorry I'm selfish, not ready to see myself
So effortlessly forgot

[Verse 4]
And you know I tried to be the big boots
You know I worked to cut myself loose
But I tell my friends I'll be good
Then I do my best tricks every time you look my way
And I think about you every day
And all these years is a long time to take your states
And yet the pain and the goddamn love is all that remains

[Chorus]
Now I know how it burns
Running through my veins
No, I don't wanna know about her
When I'm still believing
Somehow things can be the same
I don't wanna hurt, what a crying shame
No, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna
I know how it burns
Running through my veins
No, I don't wanna know about her
When I'm still believing
Somehow things can be the same
I don't wanna hurt, what a crying shame
No, I just wanna, I just wanna hold on to all that remains
