When I think about the truth sometimes, while sitting up alone late

Listening for my heart at night just to hear it beat

And it's got a hole

There's something wrong, there's something more

'Cause I gave up on believing it, was just a little, lone bottle babe

To howling in an empty room, just sitting inside for days

We got to perform it

We got to put our best faces on

Some people come and go and then disappear for days

So you spend your whole life watching love like staring through

The haze

For glory is not my friend

I never win when I try to win

Oh, I just lose it all again

And the story that I tell myself

It's not your fault, it's not your self

You were just never born to win

But I'm sick of lonely mornings, I'm sick of thinking about it

I keep thinking it might change someday

But, goddamn, I truly doubt it

But it hurts too much to think, and it hurts too much to know it

And it hurts too much to hold too tight, then it hurts when you let go of it

It just fucking hurts all the time, that's why we never notice it

So forget about this paper, forget about the baby

Forget about the times I said, "If I lost you, I'd go crazy"

Forget these gilded ceilings, forget my wedding vows

Forget you were the one thing I could never live without

'Cause glory is not my friend

I never win when I try to win

That's why I lose it all again

And the story that I tell myself

You're better off all by your lone

And then I hate being alone

But you cried when you walked away, and you said I looked sedated

And just because I hold it in so much

It doesn't mean I don't fucking hate it

And I just want you to come home

Oh, babe, please come home

And you say you never left me, but those words you said about me

You never had to hide from all those endless ghouls around me

'Cause I love you more than that

I love you more than that

I've never loved anything so much

Can't you feel it when we touch?

But I've never dared to lose someone, and I can't be cool about it

I lay awake and think of you

And it hurts so much to doubt it

'Cause glory is not my friend

I always lose when I try to win

Now I've lost it all again

And our story, does it really have to end?

Maybe we could start again

I truly hope we do, my friend

I truly hope we do, my friend

I just can't miss you again
