[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
