lyrics

Used to think you'd save my life
But I don't think that anymore
Used to watch your soul shine
But I don't get that anymore
Used to never wonder why but now I'm lying on the floor
Yelling to thin air, ‘this is not what I signed up for’

While you were sleeping
I thought this out meticulously.
I'm so depleted I almost didn't say anything
Don’t wanna need it but it’s second nature

Used to think you'd save my life
But I don't think that anymore
Used to watch your soul shine
But I don't get that anymore
Used to never wonder why but now I'm lying on the floor
Yelling to thin air, ‘this is not what I signed up for’

Don’t wanna need it
But it’s second nature to me.
I couldn’t beat it
It outruns me so easily
I'm so depleted I almost said nothing.
