lyrics

Pick one rose from the vase of flowers before you
Pick one more, pick two, you owe me a lot
Pick one thread of a lie that’s started to bore you
Pick one trait of a self that’s all that you’re not

Twenty-eight years and I will reimburse you for the confidence I’m feeling
Living the crime day at a time in my happy ever after
Summer alone courting a stone as I wait for something new
Casting aside years that I tried and I trade ‘em for the laughter
Starting to see pieces of me in the life I’m leading in the darkest season of you

I can see through the blinds your daughter of fortune
I can hear through the words that crack in your voice
Let me let go this kite tail of your distortion
Let me still live in a world that offers the choice

Hang up the phone before I ask for anything you never knew to give me
Living the crime day at a time in my happy ever after
Summer alone courting a stone as I wait for something new
Casting aside years that I tried and I trade ‘em for the laughter
Starting to see pieces of me in the life I’m leading in the darkest season of you

If I reject the way you hold me after all this
Would you recall the times you told me
Not to trust a world that knows its end from its cruel beginning

All of my life so I can stand before now and tell you that I’m broken
Living the crime day at a time in my happy ever after
Summer alone courting a stone as I wait for something new
Casting aside years that I tried and I trade ‘em for the laughter
Starting to see pieces of me in the life I’m leading in the darkest season of you
It’s just the life I’m leading in the darkest season of you
I’ll take the life I’m leading in the darkest season of you
