Our conversation ended with a bitter taste

Mending paper cuts just to get us on the same page

By the look on your face my head is still bleeding

From the spill that I took off the stage

But the stage is keeping secrets

And we both know

Dress it up in lights make it pretty for the video

It's a front row seat to a car crash

Is it better than being alone?

Fingers bleeding from digging for answers

Ankle's twisted from coming down hard

Shake shaking as it's leaving my system

You hoped I'd fall apart

Did I fall apart?

Life's full of disappointments

Didn't think I'd be one

I'm finally proud of myself but I can't make you

We built this all together

But I guess we just missed

When the termites chewed right through

When the first floor fell

I dressed my wounds in the basement

Made a bed in the wreckage

And I got used to the dark

I could always hear your footsteps

Through the bedroom floor

But you never came to see me cuz it broke your heart

I was a mangled mess an open chest

I guess it's a birth mark

Fingers bleeding from

Digging for answers

Ankles twisted from coming down hard

Shake shaking as its leaving my system

You hoped I'd fall apart

Lungs burning from the breath I've been wasting

Ears ringing from the voice in my head

I see blood in my peripheral vision

Your flag is looking red

I guess it's just growing pains

But as we grow you just stay the same

And now I'm popping painkillers to erase your disdain

But my body is about to break

Just imagine it's not about us

You see my heart. just walk it off

Your worst-case scenario isn't my first rodeo

If it throws you off just get back up

But these bones have just had enough
