I've been looking for love in all the wrong places
Seeing your eyes in strangers' faces
Searching for God in all of my vices
Staying out 'til the sun lit rises
I, I light a cigarette, call myself a cab
If only you were here, it wouldn't be so bad
Why do I always want the things that I can't have?
It's so sad
I've been dancing all night and my feet are hurting
Taking the pills, but they're still not working
Trying to get by in this lonely city
I'm leaving tonight, do you wanna come with me?
I, I know this little place that we could go relax
Walk and run our fingers through the tips of the tall grass
Why do I always want the things that I can't have?
It's so sad
Storms start to rise, helicopters are in the skies
I feel this joy, but then it dies
Why doesn't anybody realise we're on the edge of paradise?
We're on the edge of paradise
I've been staring at screens, my eyes are aching
Losing my faith in this world we're making
Listening to my father scream and
Laid on the bathroom floor just dreaming
Of a time, a time we will look back on all of this and laugh
And slowly piece together all the bits of broken glass
Why do I always want all the things I can't have?
It's so sad, it's so sad
