I don’t wanna listen to the words you say
even if they make me the hero
Everything looks better when you’re far away
I can’t breathe when you’re near

Every thought that’s in my head will come out wrong
Whatever you hear is right
Stuck together in a place we don’t belong
No one’s winning this fight

I set the stage and kill the lights
Do we work it out or play it nice?

I don’t even wanna share the air we breathe,
even if I’m suffocating
It’s as if you’re waiting in a line to leave,
so why are you hesitating?

If we could return to how it was before,
didn’t we used to be friends?
I would play the soldier who avoids the war
Baby, we’ve reached the end

We already know where it’s gonna lead
And you’re acting like my heart don’t bleed

It seems like
I knew you then,
but I don’t know now
And it all feels
too real when
I say it out loud

Staring down the choice between the heart and head,
both of them dislocated
We could only go as far as we were led,
couldn’t anticipate it

Wondering if holding on was worth our time
I don’t think I’d wanna relive it
Now I guess that you were never really mine
If it was a gift you’d give it

Severing all the tangled wires
Pouring the fuel to feed the fire
