Dead lights & empty bottles
Another year is hard to swallow
Let's build this up just to break it down
Let's build this up just to break it down again

Foreign lands & inner struggles
Your demands have gotten shallow
Let's build this up just to break it down
Let's build this up just to break it down again

Cut the cord I can make it on my own

You never mattered anyway
When I lost you I found my place
But I can't get you from my clothes
I'll never stand outside your window
[x2]

Below the soil & the dirt
Are all my friends that have my heart
My families gone & all that's left
Is this stupid song & a hole in my chest

Well I'm still here & I'm still breathing
This half of my heart is hardly beating
She keeps repeating all that she needed
But I don't care I like this distance

Cut the cord I can make it on my own

You never mattered anyway
When I lost you I found my place
But I can't get you from my clothes
I'll never stand outside your window
[x2]

Let's build this up just to break, break, break it down
[x2]

All my friends are gone & they're not coming back again
Let's build this up just to break, break, break it down
[x2]

[Chorus]
