Lyrics

i lied
about 17 times
when i broke the bones
inside my fist

against your wall
still so fucking tall
that i couldn't believe it
when i missed

make-believe
when you're 17
isn't as easy as it used to be
i don't mind
dying a little inside
so long as you don't hate me for this
because i already hate me for this

i cried
about 17 times
when i read the bracelet
'round your wrist

against it all
with odds so fucking small
that it didn't hit me
'til it did

make-believe
when you're 17
isn't as dangerous as it used to be
i don't mind
dying a little inside
so long as you don't hate me for this
because i already hate me for this
but i could never hate you for this

i died
about 17 times
until they broke the bones
inside your chest

and reached inside
to save another life
just like one final goodbye
before you left

i don't mind
dying a little inside
because your heart still beats
but in another life
the rhythm it keeps
no longer remembers me

but baby rhythm that i won't forget
because it constantly plays through my head
sometimes it's like you had never left
this great big old hole inside my chest
