lyrics

This wasn't made to be bitter.
This wasn't made to be coarse.
This song is about giving up when you've hit too many locked doors.
This song wasn't about you.
But now it's what's wrong with me.
This song is about giving up on where you fall asleep.

I've done my time, I'm not going back.
The anxieties of living in a room, with the door always cracked.
I've let you in too many times,
You cracked my ribs, like a glow stick.

Lightning won't strike twice on us you see.
My self destructive teenage memories.
It's the way I can't get comfortable, sleeping in a bed.
It's the way I stay too long when I know the connections dead.

I've done my time, I'm not going back.
The anxieties of living in a room, with the door always cracked.
I've let you in too many times,
You cracked my ribs, like a glow stick.

I bet I was your light for too long,
I bet I didn't learn a thing.
I bet I won't sleep tonight,
I know you won't remember me.

I bet I was your light for too long,
I bet I didn't learn a thing.
I bet I won't sleep tonight,
I know you won't remember me.

If I could get this year back, I wouldn't hesitate.
To kick myself in the teeth, to stop me from saying anything

I've done my time, I'm not going back.
The anxieties of living in a room, with the door always cracked.
I've let you in too many times,
You cracked my ribs, like a glow stick.
