All those empty rooms

We could have been anywhere, anywhere else

Instead, I made a bed with apathy

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

I think I'm ready to be here

I wanna be found

I think I'm ready to be here

Tie me down

Tie me down

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

I'm haunted by your tenderness

You gave me a soft place to land

You held up a mirror and showed me what I've been hiding from for years

Was that just sleight of hand?

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

I'm done thinking about it

You're never gonna get what you want

So why feel guilty about it?

I'm done thinking about it

You're never gonna get what you want

So why feel guilty about it?

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

I've been blind to the shortcuts

Stuck on the track and losing my way home

Keep looking for the end of the tunnel

Never seems to get any closer

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

Spreading out our ashes in the sun

In the sun, in the sun

Spreading out our ashes in the sun

In the sun, in the sun

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

He taught me how to break my chains

And that money ain't worth a thing

And that no man should get

More of my time than me, than me

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

Ain't that the way it always goes?

Some of us float and some of us sink to the bottom

Just relax and believe that this'll pass

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

And when you break the surface, oh, without me

Please don't return me to the dark of all the memories, yeah

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

I'm trying to make something of myself

My better days, I go buy the hard sell

But I feel like I'm working with barbed wire and moth wings

'Cause I can't really get a hold of many things

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

And if I were someone else

And if I were someone else

And if I were someone else, would this be easier?

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

Here I am again

The one who gets

Left behind, left behind, left behind

Settled in, had a plan

But I never factored in

Everyone else saying goodbye

This ghost town is making a ghost of me

This ghost town is making a ghost, making a ghost of me

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

They will consume your sweet resistance

And they'll carry your heart in their teeth

But I am always feeding them

The ugliest parts of me

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

So I know you're not the one

Use me up and when you're done

Just give me back, give me back to the ground

Just give me back, give me back to the ground

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

What were you thinking?

Shouldn't you know better?

You opened the door for an apex predator

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

Heart broken men

Long to feel nothing

To free themselves from strife

Handle pain

Doesn't define the man

It sure lends a hand

Getting measured in the sweeter parts of life

[alyrictoasongbythecranewives]

I've gotten good at leaning on metaphors

I've gotten good at living on someone else's page

I cut my teeth on second-hand sentiments

You can't trust a single thing I say
