How many words to say that I miss it The energy I had that only came from her spark I'm giving up the mantle cause of problems I can't handle Everything is going south and in the north it's all stark Staying up in the dark, call my friends say let's drive Turn the car off and park, try to take their advice Never take it to heart that I'm not on her mind I split the night into parts, and try to sleep 'fore it's light But that's Far more easy said Cause it means turning off The cameras in my head They love to play the highlight reel With all special effects And the rose-tinted specs Reminiscing on the times when I'd Believe in what was next I'm reading over texts Just tryna feel the love again Ignoring simple facts That that's just something I can't get Ignoring every warning And the things I know are best But lessons only sink in When they're weighted with regrets I'm doing all the wrong things so Please clap your hands A round of applause For the idiot at hand I am a truly selfless man I swear this was the plan I'm making all of my mistakes So you don't have to Walk in my shoes Just be careful, watch your step And make sure not to follow me When things go left yeah Charge it to the game I know anyone can get it Statistics never matter Till its you and you regret being the one Lay me to rest in pieces Close your eyes so you don't have to see this I thought I was above these feelings You brought me to earth and I loved it But without you here I'm lovesick How many days of dying is this The days are getting blurry and the numbers are mixed I picked up exactly where I left things before But there's a bitterness I never used to taste in alcohol We go one drink, two drink, three drink, four Drink till I can't feel feelings no more No more no more Just pour, don't think Clichés make me feel More sick than the drink I've been told a couple times that my eyes don't look the same The only time I see them is in bathroom mirrors waved I know why I'm afraid I'm scared of what I'll see again The fears that you expect Are the hardest ones to feel again Déjà vu C'est comme j'ai connu I miss how much she loved it When I'd speak to her in French I can't express how I resent Missing things I'll never feel again I'm fluent in a love language That I'll never need again And everyone that matters Says I'll never be naïve again But all I hear is that I'll never be the same These are the thoughts that I'm drowning every day But they hit me even harder with the crash of every wave Sober as I write this, when you hear it I'll be drunk So sing the chorus now while there's nothing in my lungs When every word is finished and when every drop is drunk The encore will come Telling me I was meant to be the one Lay me to rest in pieces Close your eyes so you don't have to see this I thought I was above these feelings You brought me to earth and I loved it But without you here I'm lovesick It feels really late in the game Added time is pending and the tactics have changed Doing what I shouldn't be but I don't feel the shame Cause I chase the old highs and they aren't hitting the same I went Blonde and to be frank I'm losing all my self-control But all the new girls love it So it's staying till it grows Keep a place for me For when I get myself together I promise it'll fall In between late and never Hearts break sideways never straight down the middle I'm waiting for the answers cause I'm tired of the riddle I know I'm not asking for a lot, just a little reassurance That I live another life where I'm still the one Where I get a proper chance to end what's begun Where my heart doesn't sink with the rise of the sun But I chose this My fault even if I didn't know this I gave you everything I had and you broke it Into all these pieces Lay me to rest in pieces Close your eyes so you don't have to see this And I thought I was above these feelings You brought me to earth and I loved it But without you here I'm lovesick Without you here I'm lovesick
