lyrics

I fucked up everything the day I turned twentyfive
Cause love is careless and my efforts run fruitless and dry
Reset my memory, like they did in that one sci-fi movie
I’ll go to therapy more confused and eating clementines
And as I take a bite, I’ll be forced into remembering
That all I wanted was for winter to be ending

The taste of disappointment’s always bittersweet to me
Running from my past decisions, will leave me face first in the pavement
Don’t take it personal, that’s what I never say
When karma’s laughing in my face
Talking back to my mistakes

Ego runs its mouth until your beauty starts to fade
Smoking will keep you from getting older if you’d love to die from cancer
Well I’m just another failure, quoting the late words of my mother
Because I chose a different lifestyle over a lifetime of debt collectors

The taste of disappointment’s always bittersweet to me
Running from my past decisions, will leave me face first in the pavement
Don’t take it personal, that’s what I never say
When karma’s laughing in my face
Talking back to my mistakes

I’ll take this fear of failure, with another side of regret
And my heart keeps telling me what my brain is so desperate to forget

Please don’t forget
You can’t pretend there wasn’t something

Well if Monday’s always melancholy,
then Tuesday’s just another sunny day

I can’t take this distance
Your heart keeps slipping from my reach

I guess the water’s still warm
And I’m not any closer to drowning again

The constant fear of falling, never stops the vertigo
Running from my past decisions
I’ll always meet you where the world ends
Please don’t forget me
Words I’m terrified to say
When karma’s laughing in my face
Talking down to my mistakes

I think I lost all sense on feeling sorry for myself

I’ll never forget about you

Please erase my definition of a failure
on the day I finally decide to ruin my hair
