lyrics

I barely remember how we believed
In the way that we lived and the things we received
That were taken for granted, so take it or leave
And the end of the day could be all we achieve
Are you grateful for that or do you feel useless
You feel useless

Closing the window, muting your mic
Deleting reactions, rescinding your likes
And you’re throwing a tarp on your exercise bike
Inspiration you had is refusing to strike
Can you wait anymore or is this your normal
Your new normal

Walking in town with the people all gone
Talking you down from the ledge that we’re on
That it’s never your fault and that you can belong
And that you can be happy and you can be strong
But I never believe any of that for long
Is it true?

Watching the teakettle, making some soup
And I feel like I’m stuck in an infinite loop
Cuz I’m burning through days I can never recoup
And I’m stirring the pot until we can regroup
You’re a blip on my phone and I can’t be with you
Can’t be with you

Walking in town with the people all gone
Talking you down from the ledge that we’re on
That it’s never your fault and that you can belong
And that you can be happy and you can be strong
But I never believe any of that for long
Is it true?

Is it true about you?
About every day you can get through
Is it true without you?
Without anything we can undo

It’s not any different now that I’m here
I’ve been living alone and been living in fear
And I’ve cried in my soup but I won’t shed a tear
If the end of the world doesn’t ever appear
I’ll feel nothing at all and I won’t be happy
can’t be happy

Walking in town with the people all gone
Talking me down from the ledge that we’re on
That it’s never my fault and that I can belong
And that I can be happy and I can be strong
But you never believe any of that for long
Is it true?

Is it true about you?
About every day we can get through
Is it true without you?
Without anything we can undo
