Lyrics

I've been reaching for the highest shelves, reading the oldest books
But I still don't feel intelligent and I'd smile if I could
You're the only face I'd ever miss, the one that makes me smile
I'm distraught about the way you left, in the city lovers die.
They assessed how much I loved you and it's too much to give a grade
She's the type of girl, if you were homeless you'd give all your change
All your change, all your change
And I'm done feeling sorry for myself
I feel sorry for myself now you're gone
Oh I wish you weren't gone
You can disconnect my heart
Because I feel so far away from everything,
Away from everyone
I can feel the weight of my decisions pinching at my spine
I've become my own worst enemy, this smiles hiding lies
If I could I'd cramp the distance that's made our hearts grow weak
You're the only thing I'll always ever miss but never get to meet
And I can't breathe without you close
And I'm sick of all my clothes, I'm fighting things a bit too much
Im fighting things a bit too much,
A bit too much
And I'm done feeling sorry for myself
I feel sorry for myself now you're gone
Oh I wish you weren't gone
You can disconnect my heart
Because I feel so far away from everything,
Away from everyone
Away from everyone
Away from everyone
I wish you all the best
I'll miss you, you're the best
And I'm done feeling sorry for myself
No I feel sorry for myself now you're gone
Oh I wish you weren't gone
You can disconnect my heart
Because I feel so far away from anyone
Away from everyone
Girl the distance will come between us, don't you laugh
Girl the distance will come between us don't you laugh
