lyrics

I needed you for the longest time
For the life of me, I couldn’t tell you why
Every match I was on your side
But I lost the will to fight
People don’t change, I know you, I know your way
It’s too cold now, I’m too old now to stay

I’m hoisting the flag, I admit defeat
Fought through good and bad but I don’t think I can make you happy
Nothing wrong with that, it’s bittersweet
I held it all in till I started falling but now I think that I’ve found my feet

I needed you for the longest time
For the life of me, I couldn’t tell you why
Every match I was on your side
But I lost the will to fight
People don’t change, I know you, I know your way
It’s too cold now, I’m too old now to stay

You keep spilling words, they’re falling at my feet
Rising under my chin until I feel that I can’t breathe
Yes you’re always right, yes you know best
I held it all in but that shit gets boring and now I think I need a rest

I needed you for the longest time
For the life of me, I couldn’t tell you why
Every match I was on your side
But I lost the will to fight
People don’t change, I know you, I know your way
It’s too cold now, I’m too old now to stay

I needed you for the longest time
But it doesn’t sting to say goodbye
Always there, always on your side
But you never made it on to mine
People don’t change, I know you, I know your way
It’s too cold now, I’m too old now to stay
So take a bow, I’ll get out of your way
I’m so done now, it’s no fun now to stay
