Why They Fight - Cracked Ribs and Heavy Hearts

And I've been drinking for days
To forget everything you've said to me
You're like a warm deep cut in my skin
And I can't shake out all these memories

I'm lost and forgotten
You're voice has been haunting me
So please let me get some sleep
I'll talk to you when I am me again

You said you'd take my hand
And lead me to understand
How we should be together in the end

And I remember the stupid fights
We'd talk for hours every night
And everything felt right when you were there beside me

So here's to everything I've lost
Every hour I've lost you
Please wake me up when this can end
I should have never called you

And I've been drinking for days
To forget everything you've said to me
You're like a warm deep cut in my skin
And I can't shake out all these memories

I'm lost and forgotten
You're voice has been haunting me
So please let me get some sleep
I'll talk to you when I am me again

And all these lines inside my head
They keep me up when I'm in bed
I try to sing myself to sleep
But it's not the same when you're with me

I just can't find some peace of mind
Every minutes a waste of time
And if I don't act now
It just might pass me by

So here's to everything I've lost
Every hour I've lost you
Please wake me up when this can end
I should have never called you
Yeah I know

And I've been drinking for days
To forget everything you've said to me
You're like a warm deep cut in my skin
And I can't shake out all these memories

I'm lost and forgotten
You're voice has been haunting me
So please let me get some sleep
I'll talk to you when I am me again

And I've smoked all of these cigarettes
To try to reason with myself
How I fucked this up again

How could I throw all of this away
Its what I wanted but now I need you to stay

Just keep breathing
Headphones in
Reality out
Keep calm, carry on

And I've been drinking for days girl now please tell me this
If you give up on us now there'd be so much to miss
So please come back
And I will give you all I can
So one day you and me will fall hand in hand
