lyrics

Lost Cause (KN)

All these expectations and pressing questions
of when and where and why and how
but i never promised anyone anything
and i never gave you a reason to think i expected anything from you
so run off with your reasons, like you need them
you'll do it all your way

I lost a lot of blood breaking things i love over you
was it worth your time?
could you justify it all?
is this how lost that you've become

you were the start of this, my crucifix
my mixed up thoughts, and my distraught ambition
i can only hope you'll listen
and after months that i spent making a blanket to wrap myself in
you left me cold, resting on your south sailed soul

I lost a lot of blood breaking things i love over you
was it worth your time?
could you justify it all?
is this how lost that you've become

you're a mirage, a lost cause, a cement block
but you're not as dense as i once thought
you're a short fuse, the weight in my feet (and i'm trying to breathe)
i'm never gonna reach my potential
if i can't rip out the skin that you touched
and forgive myself for being so in lust

you're a mirage, a lost cause, a cement block
but you're not as dense as i once thought
you're a short fuse, the weight in my feet
and I'm trying to breathe
