Lyrics

Let the soul of the city send me to sleep
Let the noise in my mind sing and cry from the deep
Let memories of pain fade—they’re not mine to keep
I’m broken in, but I’m not broken


I'm still here but you changed me
Made me feel like I’m crazy
Pushed my mind down a hill
Left me worse than the person I was
But better them than who you are still


‘Cause I lose myself inside my head
Waste hours, days, and weeks in bed
And knowing only that I’ll dream of you
I’ll will a way to wake up

And I’ll do my best to hold you inside
I’ll shut the jar and seal the lid tight
With duct tape and wishes
And half-hearted lies that I’m doing alright


So keep all of my effort— I hope it was fun
My eyes are wide open—you won’t be undone
Still, clouds break away, see, they can’t hide the sun
And your lies taught me more than your love


And now I’m the “bad” one
The “shaky and sad” one
The “used to be glad” one
The “low was enough for to know
How to love for to crack” one


‘Cause I lose myself inside my head
Waste hours, days, and weeks in bed
And knowing only that I’ll dream of you
I’ll will a way to wake up

And I’ll do my best to hold you inside
I’ll shut the jar and seal the lid tight
With duct tape and wishes
And half-hearted lies that I’m doing alright

Oh, I’m doing alright

‘Til I feel the lips and the tongue
Rip away in the heat;
Feel the glass in my eyes
Fall to shards in the street
Though rare and untruthful
She sure could talk sweet

And she did
And she does
I’ll admit in the end it was right
Wrong as it was


So let the soul of the city send me to sleep
Let the noise in my mind sing and cry from the deep
Let memories of pain fade—they’re not mine to keep
I’m broken in, but I’m not broken
