lyrics

Ambitious hopes suddenly shattered
I’m all torn up, my stomach churns
I could have done more to prove that she mattered
Suffer in silence despite all my concerns

I don’t want to learn
I’ll put my cards on the table until I’m not able to take another turn
I’ll hide on the coast where the weary grow old, the sand burns my feet and the waters too cold

We never got started, I was constantly waiting for an excuse to save me that day
We never got started cos’ my facade was failing and my good luck was trailing away

There’s less that unites us than what sets us apart
It’s why it collapses before it can start
This roads getting thinner but I’d rather forget
Ambitious hopes turned to a million regrets

The last thing we needed was that awkward surprise, her mother sees her with those bloodshot eyes
The inner sanctum that she loved to destroy as she outlined the difference between music and noise

We never got started, stumbling drunk in the lobby, cheating death was her hobby back then
We never got started, said we’d run all the risks and get our cases dismissed till the end

There’s less that unites us than what sets us apart
It’s why it collapses before it can start
This roads getting thinner but I’d rather forget
Ambitious hopes turned to a million regrets
Ambitious hopes turned to a million regrets
