the idea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
How do you fall asleep without me here?
I see right through you, I see you so clear
Wake up my demons and my biggest fears
Are you in love with me or the idea? (Yeah)
Too many skeletons in my closet
God, if You're listening, You need to call me
Drunk off a feeling, I don't wanna stop it
What is the meaning?
Swear the drugs don't help me, it's a problem
This ain't love, I don't know what to call it
Run and tell your girlfriends that you hate me
I think we're too far from saving
Same old story, Hollywood's on fire
Three nights in a row doin' blow, are you tired?
Tell me
How do you fall asleep without me here?
I see right through you, I see you so clear
Wake up my demons and my biggest fears
Are you in love with me or the idea?
Are you in love with me or the idea? (Yeah)
Too many bridges I, I done burned up
Why you only hit me when you turnt up?
Heart's made of plastic, it ain't real love
What is the meaning?
Swear that you don't really need me, just a moment
Go ahead, crop me from the photos
Run and tell your girlfriends that you hate me
I know we're too far from saving
Are you in love with the heartbreak? It's tough
'Cause when I saw you last week, you were lookin' pretty rough
And it's the same old story, Hollywood's on fire
Three nights in a row doin' blow, are you tired?
Tell me
How do you fall asleep without me here?
I see right through you, I see you so clear
Wake up my demons and my biggest fears
Are you in love with me or the idea?
Are you in love with me or the idea? (Yeah)
Look at this mess all around me
You should've left how you found me
Death is easy, life is hard
I hate how this ending is sounding
You left your cigarette burning
On top of the pictures, you hurt me
Death is easy, life is hard
And livin' without you is worse for me, so
How do you fall asleep without me here?
I see right through you, I see you so clear
Wake up my demons and my biggest fears
Are you in love with me or the idea?
Are you in love with me or the idea?
