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
