Lately, I've been slipping away from you

Can you tell me, does it hurt today?

Yeah, there's no way, yeah (no way, no way, no way)

To burn, there's no flames, yeah (there's no flames)

Praying nine to five like a saint for you (like a saint)

Can you tell me how it turned this way? (How?)

Yeah, things have changed, yeah (yeah)

Yeah, filled with rage, yeah (filled with rage)

So lost in these diamonds

So lost in this paradise

Don't speed on that highway

We need you to shine bright

When life gets too complicatеd

Will you stand with me after dark?

I will stay in the limеlight like a beautiful afterthought

Like a beautiful afterthought

Sometimes, you'd ask me for something different

Hated when you did it, I wish that you didn't

I would do things and you'd get annoyed, I

Should've never done them, I wish I was different

Why do we have to step away now?

It's been a year, been a couple days now

Since you called me

Saying you're worried

Been hard for me dealing with this space now

No company, wishing we could sit down

'Cause I'm sorry

But you don't want me

So lost in these diamonds

So lost in this paradise

Don't speed on that highway

We need you to shine bright

When life gets too complicated

Will you stand with me after dark?

I will stay in the limelight like a beautiful afterthought

Like a beautiful afterthought

I don't wanna forget about you

I don't wanna forget about you, oh

I don't wanna forget about you

I don't wanna think about it

Think about it
