lyrics

so it's not the way you want your birthday
so it's not the way you wanted everyone to lie down for you now
and i got a room if you wanna listen
it's not a choice
it's not a choice
my voice is clean
and out of noise

i never said one day you'll get what all you paid for
i never said what all we both had made would die

i'm learning some days we get older
and the strength that used to hold us up
is gone

and i guess you got some words for me
you should've let go yesterday
but the water felt just fine until today

and i guess you blamed the therapy
for giving me a voice to read
it's accusing you of never being right

and today
i watched it rain
and today
i kept you safe

well that was fine when you weren't older
or drinking wine until you're sober
but that's all right man
yeah that's all right

slept through a time it was amazing
when you'd just know what it meant to me
to see the sun go up and down today
forget about what my friends all make

you're a lover and fairweather friend
i wish i knew you more than that
but you're wrong
you're wrong
you're god damn wrong

and if there's just one day to save you
and if there's just one day i could save you
and if there's just one day left to save you

then live alone or find a home
in this pale world
