lyrics

I know you’re scared about what I got to say about you
I thought that with love, not fear, is what you’re trying to do
Just cause you wrote it on your arm don’t mean it’s that way
Just like I wrote on my arm that everything’s okay

Only trying to minimize the damage
Reduce it to a task that we can manage
Everything is fleeting so don’t get mad
You’re not the only reason that I feel so bad, that I feel so bad

I took you in my arms graduation day
Said we can leave the problems for tomorrow, but for now just stay
And you did, yes you did, ‘bout as long as you could
It wasn’t up to me to decide if loving me was good

When you were only trying to minimize the damage
Reduce it to a task that you can manage
Everything is fleeting but I still get mad
I’m not the only reason that you feel so bad, that you feel so bad

When all smoke and mirrors have finally blown away
It feels like the first time you’ve seen the light of day
You get tossed, you get turned and you end up here

There’s no form in the chaos, we’re spinning round
There’s no comfort in the up when you’re heading down
But you can live, you can live without your baby near

And if your baby’s not your baby no more, no need to fear
Cause you can learn to live without your baby near

It’s a riptide, darling, that sucks you right in
And your heart becomes your brain and your faith runs thin
No this is not about all of the fish in the sea
If it’s not for you that I’m living it’s gotta be for me

If only just to minimize the damage
Reduce it to a task that I can manage
Everything is fleeting but I won’t get mad
Cause after all the bleeding, I’m tired of feeling so bad
Feeling so bad
I’m done feeling so bad
I’m done feeling so bad
I’m done feeling so bad
I’m done feeling so bad
I’m done feeling so bad
I’m done feeling so bad
I’m done feeling so...
