lyrics
I think this is broken
And it won’t end till someone says something
That they actually mean
Said i’m trying to be three halves of a good friend
Crying outside the venue
Aptly named where I fell to
At the bottom once again
Oh I wish I didn’t say that
I wanna stay happy out of context
But I got scared and you were so mad
Let’s skip to the end and work our way back
From a distance we were still friends
But too close to see what was coming
So I probably should mention
My intention at the time was mostly to see
How drunk I could get in a half hour set
That’s all music meant to me.
Thought it cool for so long I
Didn’t realize I’m not fine
With playing make believe
Oh I wish I didn’t say that
I wanna stay happy out of context
But I got scared and you were so mad
Let’s skip to the end and work our way back
From a distance we were still friends
But too close to see what was coming
So now we’re going through the motions
Spent half the year on borrowed time
I think maybe I was hoping
We could admit we won’t be fine
Oh I wish I didn’t say that
I’m trying my best not to make you mad
Sometimes your best is bad in context
I don’t think I want it all to go back
From a distance we were still friends
I couldn’t have seen what was coming
You pushed me off of the cliff and said I’m jumping
Now you’re out there hating me like its nothing
And it won’t end till someone says something
That they actually mean
Said i’m trying to be three halves of a good friend
Crying outside the venue
Aptly named where I fell to
At the bottom once again
Oh I wish I didn’t say that
I wanna stay happy out of context
But I got scared and you were so mad
Let’s skip to the end and work our way back
From a distance we were still friends
But too close to see what was coming
So I probably should mention
My intention at the time was mostly to see
How drunk I could get in a half hour set
That’s all music meant to me.
Thought it cool for so long I
Didn’t realize I’m not fine
With playing make believe
Oh I wish I didn’t say that
I wanna stay happy out of context
But I got scared and you were so mad
Let’s skip to the end and work our way back
From a distance we were still friends
But too close to see what was coming
So now we’re going through the motions
Spent half the year on borrowed time
I think maybe I was hoping
We could admit we won’t be fine
Oh I wish I didn’t say that
I’m trying my best not to make you mad
Sometimes your best is bad in context
I don’t think I want it all to go back
From a distance we were still friends
I couldn’t have seen what was coming
You pushed me off of the cliff and said I’m jumping
Now you’re out there hating me like its nothing
