❛ guess i'm sleeping over after all , ❜

❛ i don't wanna tell you how to live , ❜

❛ you're lonely & you don't know when to quit , ❜

❛ it's never enough , taking our demons to bed , ❜

❛ maybe we just don't know when to quit , ❜

❛ i could fill a lifetime with love that i left behind , ❜

❛ it's hard to unravel , our bodies are so intertwined , ❜

❛ maybe there's nothing left to say , ❜

❛ you're just the grass on a stranger's grave , ❜

❛ i'm still ashamed of the wreckage i left in your life , ❜

❛ some days you pull me underneath & drown me , ❜

❛ i hear your voice in flashbacks , ❜

❛ kill me with your favorite weapon , ❜

❛ you don't know what you do to me , ❜

❛ i'm just one drop in the ocean , ❜

❛ you can gasp for air or take the ether , ❜

❛ this house is on fire , & i don't want to get out of my bed , ❜

❛ so tell me what's left , ❜

❛ i want to be the driver of your getaway car , ❜

❛ smile through the pain & run away from your past , ❜

❛ take whatever's left , ❜

❛ tell me about a world that ran away with your heart , ❜

❛ lay low from the uniform , ❜

❛ oh what's next ? ❜

❛ was it something she said ? ❜
