lyrics

A better man than me could write about anything
I've just got a well that I'll drink from 'till I drown

"You're apathetic," you point out coldly
"I think we make quite a pair"
The words you're saying all sound so distant
As they tumble off your tongue and hit my ear

We settled in a little room where light and value are sparse
Because the things we always tell ourselves
Always blend in so much better
When they're locked in with the dark

So tell me a secret, because I need to know
If deep down you're as fearful as me
I'll share a go-to, one everyone knows
But all seem to forget eventually

"How blessed are we.." you say
"to be nobodies?
So the weight of the world can't sit on our shoulders"

I disagree, "I think it does, Why else would I feel this suffocated?"
Then you shrug it off and you turn away
And I stay on my back and start to worry

Because I think we're being short-changed in the quarter of a life
That we've worked for years to earn
But if we're still feeling lonely as we start to dig our graves
Then tell me, what is it we never learned?

And it took your broken body, which I never gave a name
To give me a place to occupy
Because the air you're breathing with your sleeping breathes
Is all I need to keep on getting by
I've got friends that are getting married, I've got friends who talk to God
And I just talk to myself
Because at the end of the day it still feels easier
Than saying my thoughts are somewhere else

Because I was tired when we started darling, now I'm just worn out
