Reverie - In Her Own Words

Somehow we talked it up without saying a goddamn word

Forgot everything we heard about the world

And how we’d learn it’d knock us over in the end

And I don’t wanna be a backup plan again

I don’t wanna be your pick-me-up again

You promised everything would work out in the end

I don’t wanna be a backup plan again

The words that you took back

Were never the ones that would ever mean anything to me

I gave you my best shot but you were a lost cause

Why did you mean anything to me?

Got strung up on everything that never was important

I’ll try to get it right.

I just don’t know what to do

I’m trying my hardest to keep my composure

I’m trying my hardest to keep my feet on the ground

And my hands in my pockets

The bags straining the skin below my eyes show

The wear and tear of you being around

I just don’t know what to do

Chalked it up to feeling so let down again

Finally found a place to lay my head, but it’s hard to sleep

I’ll stay awake instead

Feeling like I’m walking aimlessly again

Making pebbles into boulders once again

I walk these streets all alone to clear my head

I don’t wanna wander aimlessly again

Got strung up on everything, cut ties to everything we had
