Lyrics

Heartbreaks, letdowns, everybody cursin'

Decade old bonds are splitting like curtains

Will they ever get sorted? Uncertain

Everyone's a hero when they telling their version of

How best friends have turned villainy

See his name online, I simmer

Been so long I can't consider how this

Hatred's making my light dimmer

My spit thicker, my blood thinner

Man's too old to be acting this silly

But man, he started it, I only know my own hurt

Wise in the ways I've been wounded and how

This idea of revenge has been soothing

Closest bredren, hombres western

Sunset was our destiny

Now spite is all that is left of me

My pride is poison, venomous love

Decorate the afternoons with venomous thoughts

Beefing with mutuals, asking them to choose

Me or him, man there's no more to it

No ground given, no way through it

There's me there, mad King Lear

Draw bridge up on my castle of grievance

Been so long I cannot recollect how we fell out

In the first place

And with the end of the world on our case

And with the end of the world on our case

Is it worth it for the screw faces?

Water under bridge, I wrote you a letter

And I hoped you would get it

If I ever brought myself to send it

Smile and wave

As I drown under my own wave

I keep standing in my own way

Smile and wave

As I drown under my own wave

I keep standing in my own way

Our apologies in the archived drafts

Shoulda done it different but the die is cast

Telling myself you're a ghost of my past

Yet I hear the future laughing

Oh, love, what can I say?

Both drew blood at the end of the day

Nerves were frayed, foundations decayed

In the autumn's winds we swayed

I knew I loved you but I wish that I had known you

And I wish that I had known myself

'Cause I know you were trying to help

This caterpillar was still in his shell

No getting through you at the peak of your temper

Kitana leave Liu Kang dismembered

Maybe if we left us earlier

We would still have a friendship left

But we kept it plastic, Barbie and Ken

Mocked and mocked to the bitterest end

Tossed and turned 'til our garden scorched

Every gaze flung daggers, every smile was forced

Some words you can never take back

Gotten so numb, all we did was attack

Just to feel anything, to replace what we lacked

Like a few years ago, you had my back

And I had yours, how we were sure

Your hands in mine, not a thing more pure

Your loving smile now fades into lore

A remorse I can't obscure

Oh, love, I wrote you a text

Archived drafts, I dreamt that we met

Hope it's all good in your ends of the world

I said, but left on sent

Smile and wave

As I drown under my own wave

I keep standing in my own way

Smile and wave

As I drown under my own wave

I keep standing in my own way
