Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
I've tried so many times, but it all ends the same
All I find are other ways of postponing pain
So tell me, what's the use in even learning your name
If we're gonna go our separate ways
'Cause I've been grasping at straws
Your words through the aether
No, we can't make memories
If I don't ever see ya
I'd be strewn over chapters
Not a part of your future
At the very least, would I get a page?
But you don't want to waste these days on stupid games
Broken hearts - staying up in vain
Still, I'd rather listen to the sound of your voice
Your stories, your secrets, and the rest
Of your remaining days in my headspace
But if every sign leads me astray
Then I won't be the one keeping track of every word you don't say
(You don't say)
Yeah, I've been building you up on a garden of roses
The pedestal centered in the aperture's focus
You're not nearly as perfect as the picture discloses
The parts of you that stay out of frame
Yeah, you don't wanna waste my nights with diatribes
If we'll grow silent over time
You might as well be scribbling in invisible ink
Maybe I'll show up when the lights go out
When the lights go out
I've been counting petals for every arrow you shot
Stitching up wounds in silence whenever we fought
Still memories of you flood my mind
I thought we'd gradually be fixed over time
Fixed over time
I'd rather work myself to death than have to face a little hurt
And you just weigh your options instead of trying to make things work
Could I meet you in the middle, or somewhere down this road?
But I already know you're going to say
You don't want to waste these days on stupid games
Broken hearts - staying up in vain
Still, I'd rather listen to the sound of your voice
Your stories, your secrets, and the rest
Yeah, you don't wanna waste my nights with diatribes
If we'll grow silent over time
You might as well be scribbling in invisible ink
Maybe I'll be there when the world shuts down
When the world shuts down
(And I thought we'd gradually be fixed over time, fixed over time)
('Cause I've been building you)
(Building you, building you, building you up)
I've tried so many times, but it all ends the same
All I find are other ways of postponing pain
So tell me, that I'm in the wrong for feeling replaced
When you've decided not to stay
