lyrics

I’ve never written a song about giving up
But I think that this could be the first
I need a reason to move on with my life
I need a reason not to have to hurt
You see the problem is that I do this to myself
I bottle everything that makes me mad
But I can’t stop you from thinking that I’m bad news
And yeah, I think that makes me kinda sad

I should have been in bed three hours ago,
But hey that’s my fault
I’ve been awake for way too long
And honestly, that’s the reason that I’m sitting here
Refreshing every app on my phone
The pizza that I ordered at quarter of one
Is probably getting cold

And I know you hate me!
I can feel it in all my bones
But there’s something that reminds me of you
And that’s why I’m sitting here alone

They say the future is brighter than the past
So I’m convinced that there’s no use turning back

I never said that I’d be under control
But this is your fault
Burning eyes and wide awake
As I spend these nights alone without you
Wishing I had never have stayed
The future that you promised is fading away
And there’s nothing you can say

And I know you hate me!
I can feel it in all my bones
But there’s something that reminds me of you
And that’s why I’m sitting here alone

They say the future is brighter than the past
So I’m convinced that there’s no use turning back!
