I lost your best written wishes,
‘cause it hurt too much for me to still see them.
I took a long break from sleeping,
‘cause if I closed my eyes, you would just appear.
There are so many things that I’d like to forget.
When we broke into this, I was well worn, and you were hard to quit.

If smoke is in the air, I won’t lie down anywhere.
And if you ever felt afraid, you let it burn your will to stay.

Chances may be bought, but not everything is gonna go my way.
Being stubborn is as good as fading starlight, just before the day.
We’ve buried all the days when I’d open up my hands next to yours.
Now my prayer in the pit is this one thing that’ll reach the shore.

You’re unfocused, and I’m a dare.
You can’t lie down anywhere.
And if you ever felt afraid,
I chose you even then, and you don’t care.
