lyrics

Caught me fixating on these things that I can't change
Exchanging compliments that came a little bit too late
Breaking promises I knew I wouldn't keep to myself

I guess I'm lucky that it's getting colder around here
It makes for a good excuse to stay inside and ignore my life
After a little time, around when the weather's nice
You and I could still be friends

Please don't feign being kind
It's not charming or the time
To let me think that there are pages left unturned

And when the hell would I
Ever learn to draw a line and
Separate happiness from complacent boredom

And I guess it hurts to know that I've Aligned with all your very very low expectations
And it's difficult to gauge the truth swimming between all your "I love yous"
There's not a single story that I know That ends with a "Goodbye"
And a civil handshake

Caught me fixating in these things that I can't change
Exchanging compliments that came a little bit too late
Break promises you knew I'd never keep to you

Caught me fixating on things that I can't change
Exchanging compliments that came a little bit too late
Break promises I knew I wouldn't keep to myself

I guess I'm lucky that it's getting colder around here
It makes for a good excuse to stay inside and hate myself
After a little time, around when the weather's nice
You and I will be strangers again
