They never said it would be like this All these second guesses All these missing pieces Asking “Did our heroes every think twice? When did saving our own lives become so inconvenient?” Nobody ever told me that I could count my dead friends By the cigarettes still left in the carton And that alcohol doesn't clean cuts Under my skin like it does on the surface Everybody was silent When I asked about paying rent And sink or swim I just never thought my heavy heart Could ever drowned my friends And I'm not any less sad About the things I cant change Or all the girls that I have kissed Nobody told me it would hurt so much to love your friends And how complicated my wicked heart gets Or just how selfish it is To never want to lose it -e
