Alexis
Okay, I'm just not gonna listen. It's worked so far.
What happened to your life?
Um, a lot of things, thanks for asking.
It's more than makeup staining your eyes.
Ha, you think?
You wanna be in a better place,
Say you don't wanna live this way,
All alone.
Yeah, who does? That doesn't mean we really have the option.
When your heart is cold,
The permanent state of whatever's left of my heart.
And when you feel you're letting go,
You can rise above the world below.
Rise tonight.
Maybe if you were ever at ground level in the first place, not a thousand feet below.
So hard to watch you bleed.
Wait, what happened to not listening?
Your fragile heart ripped at the seams.
I squeeze my eyes shut, but for some ****** reason, it's not working. And I feel idiotic tears pushing at my shut lids.
You gotta try to help me understand.
No one will ever understand me. Not even Danny did. He just stuck around anyway.
But first you're gonna have to let me in.
Never again. I've learned my lesson.
No, you're not alone.
Yes, I am, you ****** idiot.
Just shut it out. Just don't listen.
But despite everything I try to do, no matter how many other songs I attempt to make my mind play over the top of it, the chorus still works its way straight to the front of my mind.
