Life Was Easier When I Only Cared About Me

Strolling the streets in this ghost of a town
My future looking bleak
My head filled with sound
As I lost signal on the train underground
My thoughts came flooding in
I started to drown

Then you caught me by surprise
Changed my destination
Kaleidoscopic eyes
Forming constellations

I had no reason to breathe
Until you knocked the wind out of me
I had no light I could see
Until your radiance blinded me

I was spinning around and around
In an ocean of grief
Your ladder came down to the sea
I hope the pain never ends
Love is so bittersweet
Life was easier when I only cared about me

Missing the nights when my friends were around
We start going unsteady
Cruel merry-go-round
Lit my own fuse
I could not blow it out
I was strapped to a rocket
Aimed right at the ground

Then you caught me by surprise
Changed my destination
Kaleidoscopic eyes
Forming constellations

I had no reason to breathe
Until you knocked the wind out of me
I had no light I could see
Until your radiance blinded me

I was spinning around and around
In an ocean of grief
Your ladder came down to the sea
I hope the pain never ends
Love is so bittersweet
Life was easier when I only cared about me

No reason to breathe
No light I could see
No reason to breathe
No light I could see
No reason to breathe
I had no light I could see

I had no reason to breathe
Until you knocked the wind out of me
I had no light I could see
Until your radiance blinded me

I was spinning around and around
In an ocean of grief
Your ladder came down to the sea
I hope the pain never ends
Love is so bittersweet
Life was easier when I only cared about me
