[Verse 1]
I know that I
fucked up when
I
Told you I'm a
fraid of heigh
ts
It made you wa
nna test my co
urage
You made me cl
imb a cliff th
at night
You wanted me
to jump and I
declined
You called me
a coward, I re
plied
"I don't wanna
live forever,
but I don't wa
nna die tonigh
t"
[Chorus]
When the black
water ate you
up
Like a sugar c
ube in a teacu
p
I got the poin
t you were mak
in'
When I held my
breath 'til y
ou came up
[Verse 2]
There's been a
run of fires
downtown
On half built
construction s
ites
I know you nev
er liked a tow
nhouse
I've seen you
climb a crane
at night
If they ever c
atch you at it
I know you'd w
ant me to be p
roud
That you took
a rich man's d
ream
And brought it
with you on y
our way down
[Chorus]
"'Cause one ma
n's dream is a
nother man's d
eath"
I remember whe
n you told me
that
Didn't know wh
at to say so I
just laughed
Now I know it'
s not funny
[Verse 3]
I never rode a
motorcycle
I've never smo
ked a cigarett
e
I wanna live a
vibrant life
But I wanna di
e a boring dea
th
I know I was a
disappointmen
t
Know you wante
d me to take a
risk
Not everybody
gets the chanc
e to live
A life that is
n't dangerous
[Outro]
You called me
a crybaby
But you're the
one who got t
eary
Tellin' me wha
t you believe
How we're stuc
k in entropy
How it hurts t
o hope
Oh, it hurts t
o hope for mor
e
Oh, it hurts t
o hope the fut
ure
Will be better
than before
