lyrics

I took lessons from the best, notes on how to get away with all of this.
Finally saw you for what you are, a broken record singing:
"I'll be better than you, or forever blue". It's too late for that now we know the truth.
You think that you’ve nothing left to lose.

I used to think you’d be the end of me.
I bet you think that this is easy.

Empty mornings and unfinished letters.
I'd be better off getting better, at writing you off.
It's a lie if they ever tell you, that no one will ever know you.

You left me a mess as you left.
I never used to miss a beat.
Now I’m keeping her awake, and I never used to sleep.
One day you’ll make the list of things I wish that I could remember, like a second first breath, I bet there’s nothing better.

I used to think you’d be the end of me.

With a head full of concrete, I’ve been trying to finish,
The things I’ve been writing, to bury you with.

I realised, you weren’t worth the time, it took to write the lines.
I realised, you weren’t worth the time, and I can’t stoop that low.
Not with these, broken knees.

I'm writing you off.
