The Coast

Every little heartache, every little mistake And all the things I wish I never said When I was wasted, when I was chasing Memories I mostly now forget I traveled light with songs to sing I flew all around the world, but couldn't tell you where I've been It was all the same, and it was all a game But now I don't wanna play So break my heart into a thousand parts And let them go bury my ghost Down on the coast with an ocean view Go on and break my heart I know I wasn't perfect, I know that I deserved it When you finally got fed up with me Always causing a big scene straight out of a movie Where I literally chase you down the street Saying, "Baby, come back, was it really that bad? "Honey, this can't be how it ends" As you're jumping in a car to go do cocaine in a bar And I hated that there was nothing I could do A sorry attempt at really loving you So I guess what I'm trying to say is Maybe the problem wasn't you So break my heart into a thousand parts And let them go bury my ghost Down on the coast with an ocean view Go on and break my heart But remember the good parts That I still hold like silver and gold Singing "Hallelujah" and stumbling home Go on and break my heart Go on and break my heart I would have gone on fighting for the rest of my life Too anxious to live, but too stubborn to die Every little heartache, every little mistake Every crooked step along the way I've carried them with me, the sharpest memories But they're getting softer every day
