lyrics

Too mismatched to commit to this
It couldn't last, it’s just attraction
There's nothing there shared in common
Two people who were not meant to be

Well it turns out
You can't buy me off with your money
Always keep leaving me so empty
I should've known
I couldn't get everything i want
Because i don’t know what i want
Maybe just some peace inside

It's up in smoke
Its all laid to waste behind me
It's all turned to ashes in my hands
That I can't hold
And I feel so old when i'm alone

Descended from a place that's all sad and broken
Behind my smile-less face, there’s a grief unspoken
Lets take a ride on the outside
Just for one day a week
I'll take you home when it's through
Not enough to know you

And I've been so meek
So self-absorbed in my anxiety
This picture isn't so pretty
And I should've grown
But instead this is all I’ve known
Can’t change now
This is how it has to be
But maybe that’s okay
Now there’s nothing to get in my way
Nothing left to lose anymore

It’s up in smoke
So don’t you ever bother giving me a hand
Something is dead inside
And you’ll never take me alive
There’s no showdown
Just closed off without a whimper
Our name is lost to the flames

It’s no tragedy
No future for you and me
Dead ends a the family tree
Faceless, unknown
No need to look ahead
Or back to empty yesterdays
When you went
Your separate ways
We came undone
In more ways than one
And when I’m gone
We will be reduced to none

Anger, fury and madness no longer fill every silence
I wonder, what will become of us years from now
Will we still get together
The time vague, always and never
The past is all lost forever
I’d change nothing
