I watched you sleep it off in the backseat of your car

I watched you self-implode

I couldn't keep you from falling apart

I fell further from God

But not a drop alone

And I was screaming "I hate you"

Begging for answers

Could just let me float

The Devil lives in my veins

He said to crash the car

He said this is the answer

You'll find peace and quiet

In the dark

[Chorus]

My thoughts were humbled by the sound of the pavement

I felt the pressure in my head subside

I must've lost you somewhere in translation

I must've left a piece of me behind

I walked around your new life as a ghost

Time used to move so slow

Where the hell did it go

I just wanna want simpler things

That take me back to where I wanna be

I felt the permanence

Of all my scars

You're the one still bleeding

The only one that I show off

Because you cut me deep

It really fucked with my head

And I can still hear the sounds of my bones giving in from the pressure

Of your breath on my skin

I saw my youth collapse

I felt your disease

These demons keep me awake at night

All I'm left with is distance and grief

[Chorus]

My thoughts were humbled by the sound of the pavement

I felt the pressure in my head subside

I must've lost you somewhere in translation

I must've left a piece of me behind

I walked around your new life as a ghost

Time used to move so slow

Where the hell did it go

I just wanna want simpler things

That take me back to where I wanna be

I felt the summer rain

I felt okay again

I've got weathered hands

I hope that saves me

From the blood that stained them

Cause you were everything to me still

[Chorus]

My thoughts were humbled by the sound of the pavement

I felt the pressure in my head subside

I must've lost you somewhere in translation

I must've left a piece of me behind

I walked around your new life as a ghost

Time used to move so slow

Where the hell did it go

I just wanna want simpler things

That take me back to where I wanna be
