i know how we live our routines
the walls you keep
here's my one way in
damn the way we crack and break
then fall apart
when no one's watching
i hoped and begged that i'd be so much more
my selfish wish left me alone and this
i'm just like all the rest
(prechorus)
i blame myself
but it's the world that's brought me down
and we say we're fine so many times
while we're still falling down
and i blame myself
(chorus)
so we're heading back home to the eastern coast
i feel like settling down
but do i know what i'm saying
you saw my face
carried the weight
you brought me to a better place and
can't they see i'm tired of trying
don't you hear i'm tired of lying
every line is one more waste
i'd trade to feel alive again and
don't pretend that you know me
when you can't see my heart's been breaking
why the hell am i still here
when all she does it leaves me shaking
i lost control and gave this girl my life
i sat home waiting nights and weeks and months
my life's a fucked up mess
(prechorus)
(chorus)
brilliant girl
the reason
of why i say the things i will and do
we have a chance for freedom
and i know you feel it too
but we are the ones who call when no one will
the ties you lost but could not help
and when your darkest hour strikes
we'll bring you back to starry eyes
and help you get through one more night
we are the kids at sunset
i know you want our problems
with the rest you've seen tonight
there's nothing quite like silence
but the price of quiet might be too much
for my eyes
