lyrics

Was it all you planned
That false sense of accomplishment
Did it break you or make you smile
I tied off the loose ends
In fear of the past tense
Cause everything up to this point never made much sense

You've got it bad, I'll give you that
You've got it worse than the rest do
But that's not an excuse
Cause we, we all tried for the longest time

And the word spread like a forest fire
That engulfed us as our time expired
I just held my breath in my chest for a year too long
So exhale and I'll keep my cool
Well the rest failed, so it's all on you
To show them you know them and not what they knew you'd do
