Lyrics

The city's lost that state of grace
The smoke of cigarettes to blame for the change
It's across your face
88th, west of the park
I swear it used to have my heart
And the stars, here they look too far
I feel used, not needed
I miss the hope of bleeding
Can't seem to shake the season like you do
Good thing I'm not perfect
Sick enough to feel it stirring
Why is everyone here too good to be true?
Figure it out
Lift off the ground
You can't change who you've been down there
That was back then
Don't cry for them
Salt in the wound won't make you care
You're on the mend
Lose that one friend
They don't love it when you smile
Put yourself first
Don't keep what hurts
Seek the shelter for a child
Ticket on the top shelf
Now I'm clearing out the closet
Moving on was never easier
With the same fear in my pocket
Tino's waiting for me outside
Scared I'll never come back
Mama's here to make it better
At least I have that
I feel used, not needed
I miss the hope of bleeding
Can't seem to shake the season
Like you do
Good thing I'm not perfect
Sick enough to feel it stirring
Why is everyone here too good to be true?
Figure it out
Lift off the ground
You can't change who you've been down there
That was back then
Don't cry for them
Salt in the wound won't make you care
You're on the mend
Lose that one friend
They don't love it when you smile
Put yourself first
Don't keep what hurts
Seek the shelter for a child
(Off the ground)
(Off the ground)
Figure it out
Lift off the ground
You can't change who you've been down there
That was back then
Don't cry for them
Salt in the wound won't make you care
You're on the mend
Lose that one friend
They don't love it when you smile
Put yourself first
Don't keep what hurts
Seek the shelter for a child
