[Verse 1]

It's a long game, it's a long drain

I didn't see it going down

I've got my own mind, I take my own time

It should be said, I own my sound


[Pre-Chorus]

But now you're wearing my story

Some kind of costume of fate


[Chorus]

And how are you living like this?

You get along until you try to fight it

And how are you living like this?

You tag along until you can't deny it


[Post-Chorus]

It's a long drain

It's a long drain

It's a long drain

It's a long drain


[Verse 2]

I tried to know you, I tried to show you

The parts of me I'm working on

I've got my own shit, I've got my own fit

It's often said I don't belong here


[Pre-Chorus]

But now you're wearing my story

Dressing it up as your own


[Chorus]

And how are you living like this?

You get along until you can't deny it

And how are you living like this?

You tag along until you try to fight it


[Post-Chorus]

It's a long drain

It's a long drain

It's a long drain

It's a long drain


[Bridge]

I bet you told 'em you wrote it

I bet you told 'em you write

I bet you told 'em you'd know it

Like you'd know your own child

I bet you thanked all the younger

Versions of who you once were

I bet you said something like this

"This is all for her"


[Chorus]

How are you living like this?

You get along until you can't deny it

Said how are you living like this?

You tag along until you try to fight it

You drag along until you try to swipe it


[Post-Chorus]

It's a long drain

It's a long drain

It's a long drain

It's a long drain

It's a long drain

It's a long drain

It's a long drain

It's a long drain
