Lyrics

Vortex

I know it's not my fault
But I can't say that I'm blameless
Carry the pain 'til it stops
Undress it until it's nameless
Someday, the world will stop
And it will feel just like this did
I know it's not my fault
Sometimes it feels like I did this

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Someday I'll be able to let you go
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Someday I'll be kinder to myself
One second into the next
I never know where my feet are
We're spinning out of a vortex
I don't remember who we are

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Someday I'll be able to let you go
Oh-oh, oh-oh
And it's harder whеn you know all that we know

And you're screaming at mе and I'm watching it fall
And I'm slamming the door and you make yourself tall
But it's always an act and it never lasts long
'Cause I always come back when I need a new song
And I'm tired of this and the way that it feels
I'm not there anymore, this has never been real
We're just awful together and awful apart
I don't know what to do anymore
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Someday I'll be able to let you go
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Someday you'll come back, and I'll say no
