I should've figured this shit out in high school
before I started growing old
before the sun was setting low in the sky
How many problems do you ignore
just because you care for me, how many times have you let me be?
It took a long time to tell myself that I would get better
It took a long time to tell myself that it didn't matter to me
It took too long to tell myself that I was important
It took too long to let myself off easy
I'm trying hard to not go numb
But I can feel it in my hands and I can feel it in the strands of my hair
I'm feeling seasick on the coastline
I see waves waving at me, I wave back but they don't see anything
It took a long time to tell myself that I would get better
It took a long time to tell myself that It didn't matter to me

We said goodbye in the summer
the shape of winter winds had yet to come.
You wrapped your hands round a daisy
and stole it's light from up above.
I was alive when you met me
but not long after that
the ghost of Joshua found me
I went along with him.
I'm a mess of good intentions wrapped inside your petrichor
Hard to keep the rain from falling
passed out on your kitchen floor.
did you fade away or did I outgrow you?
I hate to say but it was nice to know you.
You had a darkness inside you,
it always struggled to be friends with the light.
I stayed up with you for hours
the high school parking lot at night
Did you mean it when you said
that you were happier when I was around?
My nose was bleeding when you shoved my face into the ground.
Did you fade away or did I outgrow you?

For a moment things are still
the world is bathed in Turquoise
And I feel just like a kid again
I can't stop myself from crying
hearing voices in my mind
but what's in my mind isn't right
What's in my mind isn't right
So I'll move down to southern states
so I can fix all my mistakes
Watching rain from far away
I feel happy for a change
The lights go up, i'm surrounded by
all my friends, their glowing smiles
and i feel just like a kid again
There's so much left for me to say
so much more I have to be
It doesn't have to be this way
I can be happy for a change
i can be happy for a change
I can be happy for a change

An ideal amount of sympathy
hung above your head
almost like a guillotine
the words that went unsaid
And you crashed on the highway
what was I to do
I still hear ambulance sirens
from my living room
and one red rose on your tombstone
and I still hope one day you'll come back home.
An ideal amount of life to live
Your room is empty
raindrops rolling through a sieve
your friends all around me
and you crashed on the highway
what was I to do
I still hear ambulance sirens
from my living room
And one red rose on your tombstone
and I still hope one day you'll come back home
And every time I pass a semi on the highway
I remember the last time I saw you
The asphalt breathes your last breaths
and I, I breathe along with it.
And they say you left too soon, but they're too afraid to ask why
because we've all spent years and years too afraid to die, but never wanting to live
All we know is we'll miss you
I see your eyes in the street lamps above my head
and I see your smile in the railroad tracks beneath my feet
Now every time I look in my rearview mirror, I'm reminded of you
I'm reminded

I told myself I'd drown my demons
ended up on bended knee
I told myself you'd be forgiving
that you would fade away into a sea of green
i drove for miles for what seemed like forever,
trying to sweat out this fever
i tried to call you friend
Once in a while
you send a shock through my head
and I wish I was braindead
the wounds will never mend
The pills I take make me dizzy, but I will swallow every one
Because my friends deserve better
than I can give them on my own
and I will fight until my skeletons retreat
You'll never know
You'll never know just what you've done to me
or my self-esteem
You'll never know just what you've done to me.
