lyrics

Is there a need to go be charming?
These days no hearts are pure
And even I myself am damned
For thinking that I could be anything less than selfish
And we all make mistakes
Based on uncertain tastes
Regretting our defining traits
And so I have laid this bed to lie
The once clean sheets no longer clean nor dry
But some things aren’t meant for washing
We scrub until it’s clean, but it’s not
And if we accept that
There might be a chance for us
We once were believers
If we could find the need to believe that we should be partners
Well, then maybe we could succeed at living well
For once admitting the bleed of our mixed colors
Left alone to mourn our loss
Reminiscing our cause
Cause we betrayed us
Seeking more than our trust
Am I the one to lead?
I’m forever driving
Wearily craving your seats
But not fully willing to be
The one who relents
While not looking back at events
Admitting that I am the one who would like my years back
Have we betrayed us?
Are we to blame?
Left alone to mourn our loss
Reminiscing our cause
Cause we betrayed us
Seeking more
More than our trust would let us begrudge what we had lost
More than our trust would let us be lost
