Think I'm in over my head
Feels like I'm taking hours
Just to move the minute hand
Think I might stay out again
A pointless medicine for feeling like
Feeling like nothing at all
Another ticket on my windshield
I thought I said never again
Here I'm thinking that I'll learn my lesson
But it's a long standing chain of events
You're probably hoping for some kind of improvement
But I'm a routine lover at best
I could feel that you were fading out
Every word was a shout
Every kiss, an apology
And I know you tried to let it go
But I held on for too long
So convinced that I was strong
I could never come down
And the words never seemed to come out
Now I finally see how I was wrong
Another ticket on my windshield
I thought I said never again
Here I'm thinking that I'll learn my lesson
But it's a long standing chain of events
You're probably hoping for some kind of improvement
But I'm a routine lover at best
Another ticket on my windshield
I thought I said never again
Here I'm thinking that I'll learn my lesson
But it's a long standing chain of events
You're probably hoping for some kind of improvement
But I'm a routine lover at best

Could you feel me reaching out
Giving you every chance I could
I could feel you fading fast
But I couldn't keep you here
Your words seem so empty
When they're on a television screen
This feels like a long time coming
I've been waiting for the right time
They cut me open
It's a mess inside
Crossing line after line
I swore I'd never let it happen again
Took my own advice and I can't see
Let go of the hurt
Lost my life from what I thought it could be
I tore my heart out
Killer, killer
I tore my heart out
Killer
A broken man
A lifeless hook
Reeling me in like I'm falling in love
The sounds, they felt like medicine
I took the pills
Am I ready yet
For your safe place
I never dreamed of this heartache for days
I don't know what I've come to miss
I miss the sun
The way it would rise each day
Before everything changed
Defining life as a hopeful thing
We hoped for more
We hoped for more
(They left us outside
We hoped for more
We're reached the end now
We hoped for more)
They cut me open and saw
They all saw the mess that I am
I crossed line after line
Felt shame after every damn shame
So much pain left untreated
Everything, it all stayed the same
Here I've reached my end now
I'm still hoping for more
They cut me open
It's a mess inside
Crossing line after line
I swore I'd never let it happen again
Took my own advice and I can't see
Let go of the hurt
Lost my life from what I thought it could be
I tore my heart out
Killer, killer
I tore my heart out
Killer

Black skies and crashing tides
No map to guide me
No final goodbyes
I'm lonely and broken with no reason to stay
The anchor's lifted away
With tears in my eyes
I'll fight through the pain
My heart is numb
And you're to blame
God, I think you're to blame
I'll shut my mouth
I won't make a sound
My love is lost
I swear it's never been found
I bow my head and close my eyes
Listen to the preacher proselytize
A faith I once believed, now drifting
I think I'm in too deep
I think we're in too deep
When I cried for you
All I heard was the beating of my own heart
I found out God was a broken man just like me
Too much pain left untreated
No more words left to speak
And I, I'm not who I want to be
I found out God was a broken man just like me
Too much love in wrong places
People covered in greed
And I can't say a word
I found God in a broken man just like me
He let go of the past, forgave everything
And I don't know if that's me
The waves echo what my heart can't say
A voice whispering in your name
"I'm not done with you just yet
Lift up your eyes, this is not the end"
The tides crash inside my cluttered mind
And still I know I've wasted all this time
Our scarred hearts are forever intertwined
The waves echo what my heart can't say
A voice whispering in your name
"I'm not done with you just yet
Lift up your eyes, this is not the end"
I found God in a broken man just like me
He let go of the past, forgave everything
And I don't know if that's me
