lyrics

Tethered to darkness like a dead horse
Always drenched in apathy
And dying to be interesting
The life of the party
Pledging all your weaknesses
And praying prying eyes were noticing

And you say they’re gonna love you
If they never get to know you
Like this life’s a favor someone owes you
And you can never call it in
While you scream and run for cover
And the sky it shakes above you
I guess some things they just weren’t meant to last

You came in dressed like the weather
I was soaking in the scenery
Of another boring western
You begged them for the truth
You wouldn’t let them see
And my bargain bin heart tore at the seams

And you say they’re gonna love you
If they never get to know you
Like this life’s a favor someone owes you
And you can never call it in
While you scream and run for cover
And the sky it shakes above you
I guess some things they just weren’t meant to last

And the outline of the leaves
Like maps to where I’ve been
That I can’t read
And the falling rain it screams
An unfulfilled belief
That this life is more than what it seems

And you say they’re gonna love you
If they never get to know you
Like this life’s a favor someone owes you
And you can never call it in
While you scream and run for cover
And the sky it shakes above you
I guess some things they just weren’t meant to last
