Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And for my final act
I sent a package of your stuff back
I don't know your address
And I'm too afraid to ask
I guess I'll look it up on Google Maps
How did everything get so off track?
Can't see the cracks
'Til it's cut, wrap, fade to black
[PreChorus]
You can’t handle the truth
Chose what I had to choose
We didn't do half the shit we said we'd do
But I don't have the space to hold space for you
[Chorus]
We never act the way we hope we would
I'm good enough now
To be too good
If I disturb the peace then
I would, I could, I should
[Verse 2]
Post office at a quarter to four
Bought some stamps to make it feel less like a metaphor
I can't be alone enough these days
It echoes in so many ways
Expectations
I let you down
That's what you allege
You had me climb
Up a cornice
Then you pushed me
Off the edge
[Chorus]
We never act the way we hope we would
I'm good enough now
To be too good
If I disturb the peace then
I would, I could, I should
House is on fire
You won't take the blame
Say you'll change
But it's just more of the same
You lit the match but I'm caught holding the flame
[Instrumental]
I'm holding the flame
I'm holding the flame
I'm holding the flame
[Chorus]
We never act the way we hope we would
I'm good enough now
To be too good
If I disturb the peace then
I would, I could, I should
House is on fire
You won't take the blame
Say you'll change
But it's just more of the same
You lit the match but I'm caught
Holding the flame
