[Verse 1]

We've all got those things crawling under what they perceive

We know sharp fangs and they chew in the tide alone


[Pre-Chorus]

My gut is telling me, oh, it's telling me why

She'd rather see a man up than me under

Rip a hole in my life, but no matter the things I do, never get over it

I said goodbye from a place so far

I'm under the truth

Because words mean nothing to fleeting youth

Rip a hole in my life when it's bringing me back to you


[Chorus]

I've been trying to work it out

Gotta get away, get away from the sights and sounds

Keep it on the ground

I don't wanna be, but just carry on and smile on through it

Death is true and I'll be missing you (I'll be missing you)


[Verse 2]

Advice is not always right

So I've gone to tread my ways

The path I've laid out is tied

We're always meant to shine

You left a lot of grief

Now it's bleeding out my teeth

Shot holes in every stone heart, oh

The tones are on repeat, yet nothing's filling me

It's on my chest and you're in this art


[Pre-Chorus]

My gut is telling me, oh, it's telling me why

She'd rather see a man up than me under

Rip a hole in my life, but no matter the things I do, never get over it

I said goodbye from a place so far

I'm under the truth

Because words mean nothing to fleeting youth

Rip a hole in my life when it's bringing me back to you


[Chorus]

I'll work it out

Gotta get away, get away from the sights and sounds

Keep it on the ground

I don't wanna be, but just carry on and smile on through it

Death is true and I'll be missing you

Death is true and I'll be missing you

(Death is true and I'll be missing you)

I think I'll just smile through it all for you


[Outro]

I've been trying to work it out

Gotta get away, get away from the sights and sounds

Keep it on the ground

I don't wanna be, but just carry on and smile on through it

Death is true and I'll be missing you
