Lyrics

Do you remember when we used to sit outside and by the lake
Where we would talk about the future
Thinking that everything would stay the same, I hoped
But that's just the way I cope. Hmm
And I know I scared you half to death when I said I love you first
You said I love you back, but only cuz you choked on other words
And I felt relief, because I always thought you'd leave
Hmm. And you would smile and tell me
About dreams that you had and how you'd go chase them
And I always got mad cuz I can't go there
And it's partially my choosing
Because you like gambles and I'm slow moving
I'll never change
You could leave for like 10 years and chase your dreams
Come back and I'd still be the same
Good kid with bad habits. Hmm
If I wake up and you've left, I won't be mad at it
But if I had it my way, you and I would never leave
We'd be buried in the backyard, decomposing with the leaves
But I can't keep you here. Hmm
You could do the things I can't put down, the drugs
And overcome your fears. And I'm not mad at you
Look what you've done. You pulled yourself out of the darkness
And the place that I'm from
And I'm proud you got sober
You figured it out. And yeah, there's life that you left here
But look at you now. And you should know that I'm proud
Oh, you should know that I'm proud. Hmmm
We drove in silence. There was nothing left to say
If I had an argument, that worked
It would have made you stay
I need to let you go
And I guess I'll never change. I'll be buried in the backyard
While you're out in East LA. And I'm not mad no more
But I'm jealous of the way that you can up and leave
While I'm stuck here in this cage
But man, I built this
And it's not your job to free me
But if I could, I would break down these chains
Hope you believe me
You should run away
It's not fair of me to ask you to stay inside the darkness
Just to meet me where I'm at cuz you can't go there
And it's harder to admit it that I've still got my habits
But I'm happy that you quit
Cuz if I had it my way, you and I would never leave
We'd be buried in the backyard, decomposing with the leaves
But I can't keep you here. Hmm
You can do the things I can't put down
The drugs and overcome your fears. And I'm not mad at you
Look what you've done. You pulled yourself out of the darkness
And the place that I'm from
And I'm proud you got sober
You figured it out. And yeah, there's life that you left here
But look at you now
And you should know that I'm proud
Oh, you should know that I'm proud
You should know that I'm proud
Cuz I'm not mad at you. Look what you've done
You pulled yourself out of the darkness and the place that I'm from
And I'm proud you got sober
You figured it out. And yeah, there's life that you left here
But look at you now
And you should know that I'm proud
