i know how we live our routines   the walls you keep   here's my one way in   damn the way we crack and break   then fall apart   when no one's watching   i hoped and begged that i'd be so much more   my selfish wish left me alone and this   i'm just like all the rest      (prechorus)   i blame myself   but it's the world that's brought me down   and we say we're fine so many times   while we're still falling down   and i blame myself      (chorus)   so we're heading back home to the eastern coast   i feel like settling down   but do i know what i'm saying   you saw my face   carried the weight   you brought me to a better place and   can't they see i'm tired of trying   don't you hear i'm tired of lying   every line is one more waste   i'd trade to feel alive again and         don't pretend that you know me   when you can't see my heart's been breaking   why the hell am i still here   when all she does it leaves me shaking   i lost control and gave this girl my life   i sat home waiting nights and weeks and months   my life's a fucked up mess      (prechorus)      (chorus)         brilliant girl   the reason   of why i say the things i will and do   we have a chance for freedom   and i know you feel it too   but we are the ones who call when no one will   the ties you lost but could not help   and when your darkest hour strikes   we'll bring you back to starry eyes   and help you get through one more night      we are the kids at sunset   i know you want our problems   with the rest you've seen tonight   there's nothing quite like silence   but the price of quiet might be too much   for my eyes
