(Okay, here we go)
I'm isolating myself
(Oh, yeah?)
To feel something new
(But what else?)
I apologize more in my head than I'd like to
(Oh, shit!)
Show me where the feelings come from
Show me how I need to become
More than I already am
(Can you just play pretend?)
There’s always an excuse…
We were so afraid of death
We forgot to live it up
I just can’t decide
What progress looks like
As the weather starts to change
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)
I could see myself do the same
I’ll wait as long as I can
To see you safe
(Way to go!)
It just so easy to complain
About everything I won’t fix
(Uh oh)
I’m one bad t-shirt away
From a fucking crisis
There’s always an excuse
To never make a move
We were so afraid of death
We forgot to live it up
I just can’t decide
What progress looks like
You’re not what you said you were
(When will you tell the truth?)
You’re not what you said you were
(You’re lying to the mirror)
Am I made to suffer?
Or is this not what you offered?
Am I made to suffer?
This is not what I want!
(Just calm down, You’ll be fine, I swear it)
I am so afraid….
We were so afraid of death
We forgot to live it up
I just can’t decide
What progress looks like
There’s always an excuse….
