lyrics

I know just what I have and what it is I'm missing
I don't need your books for false sense of living
I know all I know by seeing and just hearing
I hear all the lies, I see the truth, I'm crying

Nowhere is where I go to escape my dreaming
I can't sleep at night not knowing if you're smiling
It brings pain inside, knowing that we're dying
I did all I could but gave up on trying

This is the story of us and how we failed
This is the story of us and how we tried
This is the story of us and where we went wrong
This is the story of us and how we died

I tried day and night until the nights got daily
Those daily nights inside my head were so aching
Just like a bullet that hit my chest, I'm bleeding
I'm lying in your arms while you're lying to me

This is the story of us and how we failed
This is the story of us and how we tried
This is the story of us and where we went wrong
This is the story of us and how we died
