lyrics

Press pause, you’ve got some time to make up.
you’ve got enough self love to fill a dixie cup
but the destruction you’re composing is just too much to handle
so take your foot off the pedal and break—

do you ever sit alone in your room?
do you think about all the things we talked about?
do you recall when they gave you their love?
You’ve got ears but they aren’t doing their job

She tried to get your attention.
He tried to make things right.
She lost all of her patience
He let love leave his sight
She collapsed on her death bed
He had nothing to say
She put her hands to her eyes
He said “I’ve never had a friend die”

Dear God what have I done?
you graced my life with the loss of your son
You say that I’m worth it but I’ve thrown away your love
So if you can’t bring my friend to life
can you help me find my own?
