[Verse 1]

I don't have the drive

To lie to myself when I cry

Babe, will you be in my mind?

If I go blind, will you be my eyes?


[Verse 2]

Would they be alive?

It's body and mind

Take with you, oh

This love that we tried

Fail and deny

I'm sick of being in this place

Misunderstood, my face


[Chorus]

It rains all the time

Back where we lived

Wasting my years

Trying to save what we had

It's all in my head

Washing away

Let me shower in shade


[Verse 3]

I'm a flower at heart

Grit in the soil that I can't take apart

Making a mess of thе person at large

Therе's a hole in my heart that you can't fill at all


[Bridge]

I can't feel my hands

Way too numb

I don't know if I say it loud

Will it help with all this

Rush in my head

That'll crack me open

I'm tired of hoping

No more coping

Caffeine, dope, and

A lot of what-ifs and maybes, forcing

A lot of issues that'll cut me open


[Chorus]

It rains all the time

Back where we lived

Wasting my years

Trying to save what we had

It's all in my head

Washing away

Let me shower in shade


[Chorus]

It rains all the time

Back where we lived

Wasting my years

Trying to save what we had

It's all in my head

Washing away

Let me shower in shade


[Outro]

Bury me on a Sunday

Too numb

Too numb to stay

On a lie, alone when

All things but done

All things but done
