Lonely After

I was embarrassed when I knew who I was;

So I went zealous and overly down with the cause

I'm sliding under, diving back into clouds

We went running, you were leading me on

You lost your hope and I knew, it wouldn't last as long

I think about it, I'll think about it in time

I know that you say I'm just another one

I won't pretend you're the best

I see what you want me to see

(Whatever we're going to be)

And now I fall through your ceiling like you're the only one, always the hardest to test

So why'd you want to make me lonely after?

Wouldn't try to break what's holding you back

We were on the hook to save you sinking, back when you liked that

Don't you want to save your breath for nighttime?

Show me why it's hard to come around

I know that you've been full with anguish lately, yeah, we were let down

I called your brother, he said we're serving him soup

Broke down my door to reclaim a small part of his youth

Yeah you can hate me if it helps you get back

Another moment of impossible doubt

You wanted quiet but everything was just so loud

My memory's fading, memory fading to red

I can't play the game but I'm living like I won, taking it all on the chest

Tell me I'm not on my knees

I'm dead in the water beneath

And you're a sight to be seen and I'm falling undone

It's getting harder to sleep

So why'd you want to make me lonely after?

Wouldn't try to break what's holding you back

We were on the hook to save you sinking, back when you liked that

Don't you want to save your breath for nighttime?

Show me why it's hard to come around

I know that you've been full with anguish lately, yeah, we were let down

Think I've done well, I waited on my soul

A weekend on pacific time, best I've ever known

Let's take it on, I'll take it on for you
