lyrics

Was it better when it was broken
When nearly everything was wrong
Living deep in the red, better off dead
I felt fine barely hanging on
I don’t remember wanting to fix it
Listening to the rats in the walls
I wasn't looking for fights out in the night
I was searching for a soft place to fall
I’d rather be barely hanging on
Than to find out I’m already gone
I’m already gone
It went quiet in the chaos
Caught in the eye of the storm
Dodging defeat, high on repeat
Burning bridges to stay warm
Every window is rattling
It’s the fifty-second season of wind
They’re taking cars apart in the yard
I’m still scrambling to cover the rent
I’d rather be barely hanging on
Than to find out I’m already gone
I’m already gone
Take me up to the treeline
I’ll dive in the clearest lake
Tell me those lights are always gonna shine
Baby, forgive me my mistakes
