Our Demise 03:23
Oh no, I've screwed it up again I wasn't looking and I fell straight off the edge I prepared so well Impossible to lose I just never learned to tie my shoes And I don't know if I'm worth it But I don't think I deserve this I'm living in denial that this was more your fault than mine I should have seen it coming, but I didn't see the signs I really thought I was the fire in your eyes These fading embers lead to our demise, and it all burnt down Oh shit, now I've become such a mess I guess I didn't prepare for any of this I don't want to live with this mistake I should have known that you wouldn't stay

Insecure at the best of times Made to cast myself aside Fit within the dotted lines Grown up in someone else's sight And I try hard not to compromise But the fear keeps me awake at night Will you let this stand or will you ask me to go on home? Time and time again you watch me walk away Do you ever wonder why? And every time I hear you say it's me that needs to change I won't let you see me die inside Because we don't see eye to eye Overrun and overlooked and tired of feeling second hand All I ask is just for once to let me roam and see what I can see But is that too much to ask of you Wrong to want to be more Cos I'm tired of saying I'm fine but in my head I'm a mess Time and time again you watch me walk away Do you ever wonder why? And every time I hear you say it's me that needs to change I won't let you see me die inside Because we don't see eye to eye

Phone call from my past leaves me a wreck Shards and splinters You ask me how I am but I have no answer Do you miss me like I miss you? Cos I let go, let go Cos holding onto nothing got too hard for me And I moved on, moved on so long ago That I'm asking myself why I still feel any guilt You took the wind out of my sails and you pointed me to uncertainty And it took so long for me not to wonder If I meant to you what you meant to me Do you miss me like I miss you? Cos I let go, let go Cos holding onto nothing got too hard for me And I moved on, moved on so long ago That I'm asking myself why I still feel any guilt Do you miss me like I miss you?

It's 5am and I'm wide awake Can't you tell that I'm happy to be here Thank god for Soupy and the boys reminding me That I won't be pathetic forever This will be ok Writing all my problems down in your dashboard dust Saying I won't be scared No I'll never be scared Sometimes I take this life for granted Being down never meant that I had to stay there Wake up! You are worth the time Breathe in! Take a deep breath you'll be just fine Don't wait! For your moment to come around You'll find your solid ground I jump from sinking ship to sinking ship To prove something to myself that I'm better than a place sitting on your shelf All my best friends they say to me They say to me That I'm the best I've ever been Yeah I'm the best I've ever been You couldn't wipe this smile off of my face Even if you knocked me out cold All the shit that I've been through All the hits I took for you Are finally coming back around Wake up! You are worth the time Breathe in! Take a deep breath you'll be just fine Don't wait! For your moment to come around You'll find your solid ground I jump from sinking ship to sinking ship To prove something to myself that I'm better than a place sitting on your shelf All my best friends they say to me They say to me That I'm the best I've ever been Yeah I'm the best I've ever been And this will be just fine I jump from sinking ship to sinking ship To prove something to myself that I'm better than a place sitting on your shelf All my best friends they say to me They say to me That I'm the best I've ever been Yeah I'm the best I've ever been 'cause I jump from sinking ship to sinking ship To prove something to myself that I'm better than a place sitting on your shelf All my best friends they say to me They say to me That I'm the best I've ever been Yeah I'm the best I've ever been

Let's bury this and sweep the ashes Time and time again it flashes before our eyes Cos in the end it all seems useless When no-one knows just what they're doing We've both known this right from the start To fix this situation and show no aggravation We'll take this right back to the start Let's find out who we really are
