Lyrics

[00:09.639] I'm in the city you hated
[00:14.052] My eyes are fallen
[00:17.156] Counting the clicks with the living dead
[00:21.412] My eyes are red
[00:23.179]
[00:24.516] I'm in the crush and I hate it
[00:28.644] My eyes are fallen
[00:31.740] I'm having trouble inside my skin
[00:35.997] I try to keep my skeletons in
[00:39.652]
[00:42.156] Is it weird to be back in the south?
[00:46.419] And can they even tell
[00:49.460] That the city girl was ever there
[00:53.476] Or anywhere?
[00:55.628]
[00:57.108] I'm having trouble inside my skin
[01:01.108] I try to keep my skeletons in
[01:05.293] I'll be a friend and a fuck-up and everything
[01:12.040] But I'll never be
[01:14.760] Anything you ever want me to be
[01:17.272]
[01:17.647] I keep coming back here where everything slipped
[01:26.472] But I will not spill my guts out
[01:34.647] I keep coming back here where everything slipped
[01:43.624] But I will not spill my guts out
[01:49.351]
[02:03.752] I don't need any help to be breakable, believe me
[02:10.936] I know nobody else who can laugh along to any kind of joke
[02:18.199] I won't need any help to be lonely when you leave me
[02:23.100]
[02:24.271] It'll be easy to cover
[02:28.359] Gather my skeletons far inside
[02:32.455] It'll be summer in Dallas
[02:35.081] Before I realize
[02:37.914]
[02:43.183] I don't want you to grieve
[02:45.229] But I want you to sympathize (alright)
[02:50.365] I can't blame you for losing
[02:52.661] Your mind for a little while (so did I)
[02:57.789] I don't want you to change
[02:59.886] But I want you to recognize (that I)
[03:04.061]
[03:04.709] It'll be easy to cover
[03:08.893] Gather your skeletons far inside
[03:12.973] It'll be summer in Dallas
[03:15.797] Before you realize
[03:20.077] That I'll never be
[03:22.933] Anything you ever want me to be
[03:25.205]
[03:25.525] I keep coming back here where everything slipped
[03:34.149] But I will not spill my guts out
[03:42.093] I keep coming back here where everything slipped
[03:50.741] But I will not spill my guts out
[03:57.545]
