lyrics

I should have let you die that night
When your heart slipped in and out of time
Overdosing on your moms
Busted
Air
Mattress
How you begged to see the light
In my studio apartment
As the neighbors held their breath
Ears to the wall aching to find out what would come next

And I want you to know
I gave my all to be
The back to break your fall
(To break your fall)
And I want you to know
I gave this all of me
And now you're on your own
You're on your own
(On your own)

Here we go again
Another night lost to the bottle
Watch you flip from end to end
Of your emotionally hollow
Broken heart
Try to tear me apart
Cast your slings and your arrows to sink me
(Try to sink me)

And I want you to know
I gave my all to be
The back to break your fall
(To break your fall)
And I want you to know
I gave this all of me
And now you're on your own
You're on your own

Took me for granted as time went on
Assumed I'd always be there to break your fall
And for a time I was
I couldn't watch you drown
But hate to say the story’s definitely different now
(Go)

I hope
This feels
As personal as I meant it to be
I hope
This hits
Close to home and leaves you reeling

And I still think of all the nights we stayed up to see the sunrise
And how it's light would eat away at me
Drugs still coursing through our veins as you try to comfort me
Worthless words and empty gestures
Are your plaster and your mold
Praying to repair
The person that you broke

And I want you to know
I gave my all to be
The back to break your fall
(To break your fall)
And I want you to know
I gave this all of me
And now you're on your own
You're on your own

For all the sleepless nights
All the times I cried
All the wasted life
I gave my all
To you
