it's 3:00 in the morning
and the love in my heart
blinds me like studio lights
as if destiny truly existed
was i born for this?
we weren't born for this
(x2)
i remember that night
under the moon light
where i looked in yr eyes
for the first time
and in that moment
you were so beautiful
i felt like stardust
and we were infinite
ever since that day
i've spent every passing moment
trying to get to that high
just like the first time
ever since that day
i've spent every passing momnt
trying to get to that high
just like the first time.
we were infinite.
we were infinite.
we were infinite.
we were
in-fi-nite.

they say home is where the heart is
well if that's true i have a thousand houses
they all belong to you
in a thousand years i'll still be waiting
where you left me
in the city
they say home is where the heart is
well if that's true i have a thousand houses
they all belong to you
in a thousand years i'll still be waiting
where you left me
in the city
(whatever happened to us?
did i fuck it up?
just know that i will still
hold onto yr memory
and if and when you're ready
i'll still be here
if and when you're ready
i'll still be here.)
i will never be good enough for you
i will never be good enough for you
i will never be good enough for you
i will never be good enough for you
i will never be good enough for you
i will never be good enough for you
i will never be good enough for you
i will never be good enough
for you.

am i alive or am i just here?
dreaming of alternative realities
of opportunities that i fucked up
now that i'm stuck as this soulless fucking husk
it's getting harder to maintain
(please just let me free, please just leave me be)
it's getting harder to explain
(please just let me free, please just leave me be)
what will become of me?
(please just let me free, please just leave me be)
what will become of me
will i fuck it all up or will it break me?

my insecurities are reappearing
they've been away a little while
now they're ready to strike again
my dependent tendencies
reappearing
I NEED YOU TO TELL ME THAT YOU CARE ABOUT ME
(we could've been so beautiful)
if everything that i loved didn't crumble to dust
(we could've been so beautiful)
if i didn't destroy all that i fucking touch
am i a ghost of my former self?
am i a shadow of the man that i used to be?
is that just another nail in my coffin?
just don't leave
don't leave me here
don't leave me here.
just don't leave
don't leave me here
please don't 'leave
don't leave me here
please don't leave
don't leave me here
just don't leave
don't leave me here

this isn't life this is death in slow motion
OH
half my days wasted
with nothing left behind my eyes
another numbered slave
stuck here until i die
all my talents aren't useful to you
so what the fuck am i supposed to do
fantasize about bleeding me dry
cold metal against my wrists
i dream of my own demise
because i'd rather be dead than live like this
i don't want to work here until i die
dissociating on an assembly line
ask me how i am, i'll tell you that i'm fine
dissociating on an assembly line
