Ever Since - Make Do And Mend

Measure the moments by the almost and the came close

By the «What the fucks?»

and the «I don’t knows»

Because soon they’re going to notice the space between us starting to show

We played the songs with all the wrong notes

Played 'em too slow to the empty rooms where your friends don’t go

Because they don’t need to know that there’s nothing good that doesn’t implode

But I know

Yeah I know that we don’t have the strength to let it go

If there was a way to fight a decade’s slow decay

There’d be no telling how the sadder songs would play

I’m just so sick of the words, sick of the feelings they can’t relay

There’s only so many ways you can burn out and drop off the earth’s face

Fuck off and fade away

Keep it down or drown it out

It all gets swallowed anyhow

If there was ever a high road they washed it out

It’s haunting how it all comes back around

Because you can’t turn the tables if they put nothing down

But you know that we don’t have the strength to let it go

Tell me, have I been a fool?

Was it something I did or I didn’t do?

Was it something you saw in them that I was staring through?

I guess we had it to lose, but that just makes it harder now that it’s through

You chose the other side of a mountain I can’t move
