1.
I'm through with it It blows my mind to deal with this shit I'm over every penny I've spent This isn't how it could've been Nights like this I come to amends Tearing at my insides with bandaged hands Just enough grip for this bottle Forget about. . . Tearing at my insides with bandaged hands Faith! A new town, a fresh face This old dog needs new tricks But the cat's got his tongue It’s stubborn and still holding on
2.
I've lost so many hours this year A team of bloodhounds couldn't find them all And if I could rest, I would But we're not getting any younger here The moonlit pool is teasing you to swim The streetlights need a dance under them Tonight I'm leaving town on a whim I could fall asleep at the wheel As I cross the county line Keeping pace with the paint marks I stop noticing road signs And this is the first time I've felt this helpless and horrified This whole trip has got me on edge But let's be honest I always tend to make decisions that I regret I'm moving out For home, for house, A place of residence, a little further south I just want to go home
3.
A long way to water I'm tracing circles in the sand This thirst, it burns, and it hurts to know That I'm just throwing curses at the wind You don't know shit And I don't know shit I'm spitting sentiments to make some sense of this And you don't know shit And I don't know shit It's finally time we started realizing it
4.
Run away Can't you see that I am not a fighter I've been stuck in this moment for the past three weeks And all the ways I can feel that I am not beside her I'll do whatever I can to stay off my feet White lies You thought I wouldn't notice But I'm just not that naive Stepping into the unknown without you It's there I'm staying It's there that I belong I won't come back
5.
This house has gotten taller But my stature's just not what it used to be I put my ear to the ground in hopes to hear the sound Of floorboards creaking underneath your feet I'm feigning self-esteem It always seems my self-doubt gets the best of me Don't leave without the curtains drawn Don't leave the tall-boys on the lawn Give back the queen and take the pawn
6.
It only takes one not so fucked up mistake You wouldn't even know what you'd done And everyone that you thought was around you is gone I've been holding all these words inside I didn't want to waste them on your wall I'm growing tired of the sidelines And I don't belong here I've been waiting for a long, long time Not to write a song about it but to vent It's hard perceiving with a black eye But I think I've found some time to mend They say good things come to an end I say to you, believe in them.
