Lyrics
Late at night when I overthink
A staring match with my ceiling beams
And as this old house turns, like a fresh wound burns
Every effort will still be a waste
Amazed I held on so long
Put too much energy in shitty songs
But now I sleep some days and wake up to your face
So you could say things have turned out great
Still giving into self doubt
But still wanna kiss your mouth
And if things change and get rearranged
We could up and chase the cold down south
Far too comfortable with second best
Good at things that'll make you love me less
I'm a piece of shit that's come to grips with it
Sorry I don't have my head worked out
The little things that I wish you'd say
Like "it's okay, I still get the same"
Would help me better my ways, maybe feel ok
But it's so hard with so much self-hate
I don't deserve none of this at all
Waiting for something to just break and fall
Since things got good like I hoped they would
Waiting for something to snap under strain
Can't sleep when you're not in my bed
There’s a cold patch in my heart and head
It scares me to death and takes the breath from my chest
But I'm home when I see your face
Tell me if you don't reciprocate
It’ll be another misguided mistake
But I'm hedging my bets on nothing less
Than something good if you've got time to waste
