Franklin House

[Intro]

Sounds good

[Verse 1]

I've got stories to tell, but no means to tell 'em

I've got words to get out, but they'll send me to Hell

I bet you're drunk at the Franklin, blowin' off all that grief that I gave you

It's cold when you're here and it's cold when you're not

It hit me like a bullet, but I took it 'cause I'm strong

And I'm the closest to the man, the man I never was

And I'm drivin' home from the worst night alive

Thanksgiving was like Hell, but I give thanks that I'm alive

I don't care that I don't mean it

I don't carе that I can't hide it like I used to

What's thе use to?

[Pre-Chorus]

I will survive, but I'll never recover

The ache comes and goes like scars with the weather

I'm stuck with the pains in the place of all the love I still have for you

I'm not mad at you (One, two, three)

[Chorus]

I thought I could change you for better

All I did was break you forever

You needed saving, and I couldn't save you this time

All I did was break you forever

[Verse 2]

I had reasons to run and reasons to fight

Don't ask me why I stayed 'cause I couldn't tell you why

I was hopeless, I was young, I was angry, but I thought I was fine

Now this place is empty, and if the walls could talk

They would tell you how it is and tell you how it's not

'Cause I would never take the blame on all the things that I know were my fault

[Pre-Chorus]

I will survive, but I'll never recover

Love in the balance will never be covered

You don't owe me none, there's no debt to me, darling

I promise you, I'm not mad at you

Woah, I'm not mad at you

[Chorus]

I thought I could change you for better

All I did was break you forever

You needed saving, but I could not save you this time

All I did was break you forever

[Outro]

I will survive, but I'll never recover (I will survive, but I'll never recover)

I will get by, but I'll never get over (I will get by, but I'll never get over)

I will survive, but I'll never recover
