Lyrics

I tried to scream underwater
But I've never had very strong lungs
And maybe I was part of the problem
Kicking and sinking rather than giving it up
I bet if I could float for once
I'd be flying
But if I stopped doing so much
I'd be lying
I don't think I've ever been nonchalant
You've been nonexistent
And I finally stopped for once
To realize you'd already went missing
Turns out you're just apart of the cast
You disappeared back in the second act
And I'm fine with that
I used to cut myself in half
To save you the burden
To make you feel better about yourself
To dull the pain of being boring
I was a concept you couldn't ever
Pin under your finger
I was growing on my own
You were only growing bitter
And I bet if I could float for once
I'd be flying
But if I stopped doing so much
I'd be lying
I don't think I've ever been nonchalant
You've been nonexistent
And I finally stopped for once
To realize you'd already went missing
Turns out you're just apart of the cast
You disappeared back in the second act
And you always had a way of
Getting what you wanted
Till I came along
I wasn't something you could
Put in your pocket
Always someone to track down
In the end it was a game
Always playing cat and mouse
Who's the bigger kid now
I don't think I've ever been nonchalant
You've been
And I finally stopped for once
To realize you'd already went
Turns out you're just apart of the cast
Back in the second act
And I'm fine with that
Oh I'm fine with that
I'm fine with that
Personality's just something that you lack
And I'm fine
I'm fine with that
