lyrics

If I'd known when I was 17, what my life was panning out to be, well I guess I would've stayed with you
I find it hard to fall asleep, with the bed springs digging into me scraping over scars from new years eve, when we didn't make it through
We were young and carelessly, living in the present, and now I know that good things never last
Cause your trust is such an issue, if you give it up completely, have me taking all my walks through broken glass

But honestly, I wish we didn't fall apart
You know how high you set the bar, I hope you'd say the same for me
And in Germany you said I'd never be alone
I thought you meant it from the tone of your voice, but then you cried the whole way home
Why would you cry the whole way home

This is the last song that I'll sing to you
Even if you don't want me to
All the shit that you put me through wasn't worth it in the end
A classic case of anxiety
Nothing was as it was meant to be
Pulled apart and analysed again
I found my freedom when I lost a friend

You knew I wasn't a liar
I always told you the truth
You hid your secrets like nuclear codes
I never needed the proof

A little jealousy makes the heart grow fonder
Or so I told myself
But you didn't want to leave this dead end town
Without a plane ride out

And you clouded my perspective
And you really dragged me down
But I meant every word I said when I lay there in your bed
I knew you'd come around
