I fucking hate these nights The ones where you don't know me If I could get this right If I could get away from the old me But I'll survive, right now I'm dyin' just to breathe in Just to be alive Just to get away from the old me There's only makeshift love tonight There's a triage in my living room She checks my vital signs Then opens up my wounds Like I'm dying tonight And the whole world is laughing Like everyone I love has gone away (woah) I'm dying tonight But no one is crying It's not alright no matter what they say (woah) I fuckin' hate these fights The ones where you just own me We used to be so tight (yeah right) But you just want the old me Turn off the god damn lights If you're really gonna get up and just leave I used to get so high But that was just the fucking old me There's only makeshift love tonight There's a triage in my living room She'll check my vital signs To see what else she can do Like I'm dying tonight And the whole world is laughing Like everyone I love has gone away (woah) I'm dying tonight But no one is crying It's not alright no matter what they say (woah) All that she wanted was me broken hearted I know it's sad but it's true I won't get her started, now she's departed There's no looking back me and you There's only makeshift love tonight There's a triage in my living room She checks my vital signs To see what else she can do Like I'm dying tonight And the whole world is laughing Like everyone I love has gone away (woah) I'm dying tonight But no one is crying It's not alright, no matter what they say (woah) All that she wanted was me broken hearted I know it's sad but it's true
