lyrics

Where did it all go so wrong?
Sick of these endless nights that I spend awake and alone
You are the weight on my bones
You are the long drive home

Thoughts are as clouded as English skies when you're on my mind
When you're my mind, and I hate to admit how frequent that is
Your shadow's too much to lift
No shelter from the ghosts of this

Tell me what I need like I don't know myself
Without you around
Cause you've made all these choices for me
But time can't take away the flaws in our history

Cut me out, blistered so deep
I lost myself, you didn't even lose sleep
You are the weight on my bones
You are the long drive home

The expanse between what this is and what it was meant to be
Is suffocating
I've never known distance like the miles that part us
The borders of my teeth that I just can't get past
Hiding honesty
Honestly I'm sinking again
Attempting to avoid my grief

Tell me what I need like I don't know myself
Without you around
Cause you've made all these choices for me
But time can't take away the flaws in our history

If you're looking for sympathy don't look for me
I've spent enough time craving your company
Enough days spent on my knees

If you're looking for sympathy don't look for me
I've spent enough time craving your company
I'll let this defeat me again

If you're looking for sympathy don't look for me
I've spent enough time craving your company
Enough days spent on my knees

Cut me out, blistered so deep
I lost myself, you didn't even lose sleep
Cut me out, blistered so deep
All work and no play

Tell me what I need like I don't know myself
Without you around
All work and no play
I feel no greater loss than watching you drive away.
