lyrics

I've been trying in my own way to push through every bad day
But spitting up blood from my black lungs feels like asking you to come back and stay around
So maybe it's time I tone it down

I told you that you were my mountain, but, goddamn, how high you gotta stand?
I just wanted to be your river, but couldn't see you don't need no one else's course, and I'd never take that from you 'cause that's what I love

That's what kept me reaching out for you, but my arms weren't long enough
Or my heart wasn't strong enough to keep it's goddamn mouth shut
But since when is that supposed to hurt?
Don't you remember the first time I said those words?
I felt your chest lock up and your breathing stop, and I stumbled around that campus lot feeling like a fool.
I was wondering where the words came from, 'cause I didn't make them, but I sure as hell meant them

I was trying in the worst way to replace all of my love for you with hate
But I know my heart, and I ain't no fucking fraud
So when I wake up every morning, it's still you chewing at my knuckles
I told Patrick that it all just felt too brief, like we got the tired end of some cynical dealer's hand, and it shattered all of our big plans

So I've been trying to accept all the struggle that we've met, so we can know what not to do (when we) (if we) (can we) try again

I'll dress only in red, 'cause I know that's how you liked me best
So tell me if you can find any piece of that love, 'cause I think anything could be enough
We'll grab a sixer and just flesh it out: all that chaos I had brought about
And you don't gotta move yourself back south
I'll meet you up there when I get out
