lyrics

Choked up, gritted teeth, forgetting to breathe
And I mourn my heart as I admit defeat
'Cos this overwhelming self-doubt's left me starving for what I know I'm living without
Sometimes it feels like I'm on the outside of myself as I fuck up
Despite knowing better or caring about what's right

Cast out, mis-judged, too much was enough
How could this mess have started as love?
Being too defensive and being too proud just leaves you desperate for what you know you're living without
Sometimes it feels like we had it all right as kids before we fucked up
Despite knowing better or caring about what's right

I was certain that I wasn't coming back to this place
But I wanna stay and throw down my protection
'Cos I haven't been smiling much these days
But there's something in your way that captures my attention
And I'm coming home a new way

They'll try to blame us for it
They I'll try to cut us to fit
But I'll never ask those feats of you
Here in my shitty room there isn't much to do
But we could listen to records all the way through
Sometimes it feels like who you are ignites
Something I've been trying to fight
And being caught out well it never felt so nice

I was certain that I wasn't coming back to this place
But I wanna stay and throw down my protection
'Cos I haven't been smiling much these days
But there's something in your way that captures my attention
And I'm coming home a new way
