I wrote a letter that I could never send
We always thumb through the same story's end
I know we're broken
There's so much to mend
But I've been lonely
Stuck on a carousel made out of driftwood
And some crooked nails
I'm just a letdown coming back around again
Let me find what I've lost
Repay what I've cost you
Can you live with what I've done?
Will I ever be the one
When there's a hole in your chest?
A poor attempt at my best
And I'm only getting worse
While you're harboring the hurt I've caused
There's an ocean we never seem to cross
Another problem that gets the best of us
Cause you're an island
And I'm the undertow
You want a family to try and build a home
A pair of footprints painted on the stone
But I can fix this
Please don't let me go again
Let me find what I've lost
Repay what I've cost you
Can you live with what I've done?
Will I ever be the one
When there's a hole in your chest?
A poor attempt at my best
And I'm only getting worse
While you're harboring the hurt
I've caused everything to break
How much more can we both take?
You gave it all you've got
While I stole what could be bought
Now I'm just like all the rest
And it feels like second best
Cause I'm only getting worse
While you're harboring the hurt I've caused
