Lyrics

L.L.I.B

I wanted us, only got bruises

But I wanted us above it all

To memorize the little somethings

You do to me

I don't really know if I'm worth breaking

So for now I ride amongst the fools

And canonize every vision of you

All alone

I'm always raking over the same old boring stories

The ones we never really gave a chance to end

I keep dreaming of the silhouettes of who we've been

But will I ever get a chance to reach thеm?

I wanted us, only got souvenirs

And it's the sweetеr ones that hurt the most

Can't cauterize, I need a reason

A new way to believe

I don't really know if I'm worth breaking

So for now I ride amongst the fools

And canonize every vision of you

All alone

I know I said goodbye a thousand times

But I'm lying like I breathe

And every time I try to close my eyes

You are all I see

And I know you killed the love you bore

But you sewn it to my seams

And every time I try to close my eyes

You are all I see

I'm always raking over the same old boring stories

The ones we never really gave a chance to end

I keep dreaming of the silhouettes of who we've been

But will I ever get a chance to reach them?
