lyrics

I missed a day, another on the way
And I’ll be restless
Tell me the way, I’ll listen for a while
Then I’ll be restless
I’ll let you know tomorrow where we are
Maybe I just wasn’t built to last
So I’ll be on my way

You’re the worst of me
Covering the underneath
Telling me that I can’t live to save my life
I’m sorry but I’ll do it again
Deny the curve of learning
Only ever any good at leaning away

I feel you on my skin, it’s like adrenaline
Leaves me breathless
Then the dream wears thin
When we’re half way through falling
Better luck tomorrow, hold your breath
Maybe we could share out what is left
’Til I run clear again

You’re the worst of me
Covering the underneath
Telling me that I can’t live to save my life
I’m sorry but I’ll do it again
Deny the curve of learning
Only ever any good at leaning away

I never had that thought
Til you sowed it
I never played that part
Til you wrote it

Tear it apart, strip back, re name
I’m telling you tomorrow it will all look much the same
Tear it apart, strip back, re name
On a dark night, it looks right but it’s not the case

You’re the worst of me
Covering the underneath
Telling me that I can’t live to save my life
I’m sorry but I’ll do it again
Deny the curve of learning
Only ever any good at leaning away
