When I think about the truth sometimes,
I still nip along late
Listening for my heart at night,
just to hear it beat
And it's gotta hurt, there's something wrong,
there's something wrong
Cause I gave up livin' there,
was a little lone battle babe
Howlin' in an empty room,
just sittin' inside for days
We gotta perform it,
we gotta put all those faces on
Some people would come and go
and then they disappear for days
So you spend your whole
life watching love
Like staring through
The day
For glory
Is not my friend
I never win when I try to win
Oh, I just lose it all again
And the story that I tell myself
It's not your fault, it's not yourself
You were just never born to win
But I'm sick of lonely mornings
I'm sick of thinking about it
I keep thinking it might change someday
But god damn, I truly doubted it
It hurts too much to think
And it hurts too much to know it
And it hurts too much to hold too tight
And it hurts when you let go of it
It just fucking hurts all the time
That's why we never notice it
So forget about this paper,
forget about the baby
Forget about the times I said if I
lost you I'd go crazy
Forget these gilded ceilings,
forget my wedding vows
Forget you were the one thing I
could never live without
Cause glory is not my friend I'll never
win what I've tried to win
That's why I lose it all again
And the story that I tell myself
You're a better off all by yourself
And I hate being alone
But you cried when you walked away
And you said I looked sedated
And just because I holded it in so much
It doesn't mean I don't fucking hate it
And I just want you to come home
Oh, babe, please come home
And you say you never left me
But those words you said about me
You never had to hide from all those
Endless schools around me
Cause I love you more than that
I love you more than that
I've never loved anything so much
Can't you feel it when we're tough?
But I've never dared to lose someone
And I can't be cool about it
I lay awake and think of you
And it hurts so much to doubt it
Cause glory is not my friend
I was losing it straight away
And I've lost it all again
And our story's ready after that
Maybe we can start again
Truly up with you, my friend
Truly up with you, my friend
I just can't lose you again
You
