I've been awake for years now
But still some days I wake up
Inside a face with make-up
Still feeling like a break-up

Memories seem far away now
Like someone else's past life
I've been awake for years now
I secretly admire those who aren't afraid to make it up

Your love has been remarried
Your heart has been long buried
Getting out of bed, getting out of bed
Calling up your mom, letting out the dog
Quitting on your job, staying in a lot 

Sad songs are on repeat now
Bad thoughts knock on your front door
Reading in your room, breathing in your tomb
Calling on your friends, wishing it would end
Learning how to mend, wishing she would send...

For you tonight
You know you're right
But that does not matter tonight

You were not right for me
People sometimes can be
Here for only a time, you see
Just long enough to break you heart open wide
So that the next time you find love
You’ll know that it is not love at all
Until you make it that way
The love that you make is all that is real

Found out I was lying when I told you that eternity was something I could give
Out loud, I would tell you that “forever” was a thing that I could offer you, you told you mom, you told your friends
Here now, I am sitting with the only thing I ever really had at all to give
Here now, is the only thing I ever had to give, and it’s the only place to live

Cause the past isn’t real, go ahead, try and show me all the things you should have done
And the future isn’t real, go ahead, try and show me all the things you’ve not yet done
If I could rewrite my vows, I’d swear to be here now
And, if I could fight for my needs and win, I’d leave them out

We are not who we seem to be—not just a man, that’s just a small part of me
We are buried underneath this ruse—if you can, try and see what you can see
We’re not far, in our hearts, in our hands—we are glory, we are glory through and through
In your hair, in my arms, underneath all the stars there’s a story we can use
It’s not the love you take
