lyrics

Don’t let it ring,
For once you said you’d pick up the phone.
And I swore wouldn’t maunder,
And that I wouldn’t have a drink.
Cuz I actually have something to tell you.
I never thought I’d see the day,
Didn’t think that I was built this way.
Bout time I see it, because I know I’ve been living it.

I Always thought I was one of the good guys,
Now this revelation’s tearing the sky.
I used to see the sun.
But now it looks blotted it out.
And the stars are bleeding,
Like this heart keeps beating, and I’m fuckin up everything.

I never said that I could be perfect.
Cuz I’m only human I think I can live with that.
And I’m moments from being sincere,
I know I fucked up but is it really my fault?
Cause tonight I’m sorry to say my dear,
I remember how this used to be.
And I’m drowning in our history.
I know I threw it away but somehow I’m ok with this.
I took us off the rails.
The brakes are dead, it’s the end of the line

And Your tone hits me like a freight train,
Your smile ruptures like cellophane.
No mushroom cloud comes with this bomb.
Just leave me be let me fall to misery,
It’s so much easier to walk away.

Because we only get one chance,
To sing the songs that we wanna dance.
I made you miss it but can you really blame me?
I told you that this wasn’t me.
That I never meant it, and you knew I faked it,
What a wasted time, such a wasted life.

And I’m moments from being sincere,
I know I fucked up, but is it really my fault?
cause tonight, I’m sorry to say my dear,
I remember how this used to be.
I’m no longer sorry,
I’ll remember what you said that night,
like a brick in the morning light.
It never felt so red.
Do you remember being happy?
Or even friendly?
It’s the end of the line,
and it’s about fucking time.
