Lyrics
[Chorus]
So I let the winds pile up and your words fall down
Said you didn't want me then, I don't need you now
[Verse 1]
And I really wanna leave, but I'm too far
And I'm too lost
Wanna let go, but it's too hard
Want a new start
Gotta look inside me, but I'm too scarred
Never knew the pain could be this sad
I don't wanna die young, so I live fast
Never knew a heartbreak could be this bad (Uh)
I'm afraid to be in love, then I know why (Yeah)
I can never trust what I don't buy (Uh)
When I feel like givin' up, then I don't try (Yeah)
Kinda feel like takin' drugs so I don't cry (Uh)
Got me feelin' like a dove when it don't fly (Don't fly)
But I get depressed when you just leave (Uh)
I can never get rest 'til you close by (Yeah)
I don't feel at my best when it's just me (Uh)
Every time it get bad, then it get worse
When it get worse, then you hit first (Uh)
Got me livin' on the edge and I'm just cursed (Yeah)
Sick of tryna build a bridge just to get burned (Yeah)
Got me all in my head, but I'm just hurt
Wanna run, but we just hide (Yeah)
We don't wanna hear the truth, so we just lie
But I only look at you like you're just mine (Uh)
Said I only look at you like you're just mine (You're just mine)
[PreChorus]
But we gotta heal
And my head fucked up, don't know how to feel
When you tell me you in love with somebody else (Man)
How you tell me you in love with somebody else (That's crazy)
When you know that I need you? (Uh)
Now I gotta build a life with a stranger
We both know that I wanted it to be you
Goddamn
[Chorus]
So I let the winds pile up and your words fall down (Yeah)
Said you didn't want me then, I don't need you now (Joyner, Joyner)
We don't have to love forever
I thought that you would love me better
Why would you go tear me up just to take me down?
[Verse 2]
Where the fuck do I go when I'm too lost?
When I'm too far?
Wanna let it go, but it's too hard
And it's too dark
Keep tellin' your side, but it's two parts
Hope you're sayin' things that you don't mean (Yeah)
I feel like I'm 'sleep, but I don't dream
Just another nightmare, but I don't scream (Yeah)
Every time it get rough, then we break up
Every time that we fuck, then we make up (Uh)
Every time we get drunk, then it's dangerous (Yeah)
Sick and tired of givin' up, but you gave us (Uh)
I don't wanna give it up, but you made us (Uh)
And I get depressed when you just leave (Yeah)
I can never get rest when I'm laid up
I don't feel at my best when it's just me (Yeah)
You can see my heart bleed when you watch it (Uh)
I can feel your heart leave in the process (Uh)
And you only wan' leave when it's options (Yeah)
But you only want me when it's toxic (Yeah)
How you only want me when it's toxic? (Uh)
Type of shit can get dangerous (Uh)
Had to deal with my pain in phases
I done felt so much pain that I'm painless (Yeah)
And I know it's too late to save us (Yeah)
[PreChorus]
But we gotta heal
And my head fucked up, don't know how to feel
When you tell me you in love with somebody else
How you tell me you in love with somebody else (Yeah)
When you know that I need you?
Now I gotta build a life with a stranger (Uh)
We both know that I wanted it to be you (Damn)
[Chorus]
So I let the winds pile up and your words fall down (Ooh)
Said you didn't want me then, I don't need you now (Don't need you now)
We don't have to love forever
I thought that you would love me better
Why would you go tear me up just to take me down? (Take me down, yeah)
So I let the winds pile up and your words fall down (Ooh, uh)
Said you didn't want me then, I don't need you now (Don't need you now)
We don't have to love forever (Uh)
Just hoped that you would love me so much better
Why would you go tear me up just to take me down?
