Lyrics
Daggers
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.
We looked through photos of the past
And we come to terms with
How good we all had it back then
As if we hadn't noticed
Countless years of countless fights
Always left me hanging on
We cut them up and threw them out to forget
If you blame your past for everything
The past is all you'll ever be
I'll show you what it's like to be alone
It's all I've ever known
My oldest friend, don't leave me
Please don't leave me hanging on
I drive into the town we left
And I come to notice
It chewed us up and spat us out
And made us lose our focus
Countless years of countless fights
Where I held on way too long
These are the cards that we were dealt to forget
If you blame your past for everything
I swear it's all you'll ever be
I'll show you what it's like to be alone
It's all I've ever known
My oldest friend, don't leave me
Please don't leave me hanging on
Don't leave me
Please don't leave me hanging on
Deserving more but I keep giving you less
I know it's hard and I keep causing you stress
It's slowing us all down
We're swallowed by this town
Throwing dice behind the alley at night
To try and pay the rent but nothing goes right
It's slowing us all down
We're swallowed by this town
I blame the past for everything I am
I can't hide it
I'll show you what it's like to be alone
It's all I've ever known
My oldest friend
Please don't
Please don't leave me hanging on
Oh no, please don't
Please don't leave me hanging
