about

this song is about trauma.

lyrics

Do you remember the night that he was born?
I could see the part of me in you was torn
From the depths of your heart as I was told
That I would never be enough, no matter what
Do you remember that night when I came home?
The time I lied but I just wanted your support
Instead you cried, but I just wanted you to hold me
Fuck you I just wanted you to hold me

Let’s dance the night away
We’ll stay up ‘til dawn before this is gone
Let’s wait ‘til light of day
If you wanted to fly, please just say goodbye

I spent nights at parties when I was only eight
Talking about politics and real estate
Like some kind of prodigy, you all saw
But you never had the time to play along
I spent nights alone when I was only ten
When I should have had some goddamn friends
To tell me that there’s nothing bad
With feeling like my body’s wrong
Now that little kid you loved is all grown up
Slicing her wrists to watch the blood pour
Swallowing all these tabs and pills
Until she’s passed out on the fucking floor
Why should I care to make new friends if all the old ones disappear?
Why should I care to make amends when nothing ever seems clear?

Let’s dance the night away
We’ll stay up ‘til dawn before this is gone
Let’s wait ‘til light of day
If you wanted to fly, please just say goodbye

How can you expect me to come home?
When there’s nothing left except the darkest hole
You left me here to wither and die
And now I can’t wait to try
Every new way to pass the time
Even if it means drinking ‘til I cry
I’ll pour my heart out ‘til it runs dry
But goddamn if I didn’t wish for you to come by
Let’s play a game where you lie
About every single person you’ve ever met
Let’s play a game where you try
To pretend there’s no reason for us to ever forget
Yeah, but when everyone I know is dosed up on drugs
Why should I be the one to hold us together before this dies?
Why the fuck should I even try?
Are you still there?
Are we lovers?
Are you still there?
Are we nothing?
Rarely, if ever, have I felt peace
Fuck you I just wanted you to hold me

Fuck you I just wanted you to hold me
Fuck you I just wanted to find peace
