lyrics

I woke up in love with a memory
Thought about reaching out but it occurred to me
That all I want is just to live in that dream

So lately I’ve been trying to keep that in mind
When I’m falling in love with someone’s social media profile
It’d be best to just scroll on by

Maybe we should have split up after that big fight
I was never the same, could never get out of my mind
It’s not your fault I know you tried

But there’s a difference between what I know
And what I believe, can’t always reconcile them both
God, my love’s just gotten so cold

I kept a boulder on my chest
To keep from saying what made me anxious
It always rolled off when the sobbing started
So now I must be fucking crazy
‘Cause what I said and can’t stop saying
I’m saying just to break my goddamn heart

So try to get some sleep
‘Cause you’re guaranteed to feel like shit
Til morning
And relax
Try to Believe
That this is all just temporary
Someday you could wake up and be happy
You’re the only person who hates what you see
When you reveal yourself in the songs that you sing
Just try
Try to believe it

So I’ve been looking for a way to validate my grief
‘Cause it don’t belong when life’s been so good to me
Why can’t I just be happy

But I can see flashes in the people around me
Man, I almost had it, it was almost within reach
Just gotta try to believe
