lyrics

I had a good run
In this backwards broken town
It was a matter of time before it let me down
I need to accept that you don’t want me around
Wish I could suck it up
Wish that I could be tough

And the best of my friends I’ve seen them come and go
I don’t even know how I call this place my home
It’s eating me up when there’s nowhere to turn
Got these stiches on my heart that remind me to live and learn

And I need to believe I can hold my head up high
And I need to believe I can be something before I die
And I need to believe I can look you in the eye
And I need to believe I just need to take my time

And I remember when I didn’t think so capably
Watched my mind go up in mushroom clouds more than casually
My heart’s barely beating cause I’m barely breathing
It hits me so hard in the middle of the evening

And I need to believe I can hold my head up high
And I need to believe I can be something before I die
And I need to believe I can look you in the eye
And I need to believe, I just need to take my time
