lyrics

You were real,
but never true.
I built a mess,
that mess was you.

You were the first
to stick around.
You claimed me
gagged and bound.

But if not you, I’ll do.
If not you, I’ll do.

Come around, because I need you now.
Come around, because I failed you now.

Even though
I was wrong,
you held out
for so long.

The needle
on my gauge
was spinning like
a fan blade.

But if not you, I’ll do.
If not you, I’ll do.

Come around, because I need you now.
Come around, because I failed you now.

Here, the fort we built then plundered
every first night we spent together.
Here, the field we cleared anew.
Every bridge I burned,
I burned for you.

Come around, because I need you now.
Come around, because I failed you now.

But if not you, I’ll do.
If not you, I’ll do.
