lyrics

The way that you looked on that day / I knew that I could not relate /
to the shock that showed up on your face / the look of loss you wore with grace /
staring at cracks on the ground / your call ended without a sound /
no "goodbye or see you later" / your breath was getting deeper /

'til you started hyperventilating / just when you got off those pills you were taking /

And if your whole life turns to shit / I know it's hard to know /
you drag your body around behind you / everywhere you go /
you don't wanna live and I know it's hard to know /
to realize you can't just let it go /

I said that I would be right back / I had to go get cigarettes /
and you said "Don't leave here / check the back of the freezer" /
later on the balcony / I thought I heard a scream in the back alley /
and came in to find you crying / 'he had no one beside him" /

then you started hyperventilating / just when you got off those pills you were taking /

And if your whole life turns to shit / I know it's hard to know /
you drag your body around behind you / everywhere you go /
you don't wanna live and I know it's hard to know /
to realize you can't just let it go /
