lyrics

Before you Go

I’ve been waking up thinking I was holding you
I could kick myself for thinking it is possible
We’re diametrically opposed
Enemies I suppose
You live your head
You say you wish that you were dead

You don’t even give a shit
So why the fuck am I writing this?
Why the fuck am I thinking this?
Why are we drawn
To the ones we hate the most?
Made bitter ghosts
Laying on the phone
The conversation’s cold
The conversation’s cold

But, if you take your life
I’d understand hope you know
But, if you take your life
Kiss me goodbye before you go

Some fucker broke your heart
Unbearable to part
Packed some bags and ran away
Devotional you stay
Like puppies lost in alleyways
I’m such a hypocrite because I feel the same way

Why do we do this to ourselves?
Thinking never helps
And writing stupid motherfucking songs

Maybe one day you’ll get the nerve
To put that knife to your wrist
And end it all poetically
You’re genetically inclined
