Lyrics:

BEAT:
i heard it all again
the shimmer in your eyes
the pictures intertwine
and mirror into mine

i never thought it’d be this soon
i lie awake inside my room
i close my eyes and wonder why
i care so much this time

i can't stand it,
it's brain poison
my mind unravels
when i toy with
the thoughts it gives me
leaves me wishing
it leaves me
it leaves…

QUAVER:
you’re just a part of my life
and you’re just a part of my life
and you’re just a part of my life
and i can’t get rid of you

it's hard to hear my own mind
with your voice in my ear
again

oh it's the first and last time
every time that i hear
it said

and all those memories
remind me i will always be
without you
without you

i see you in my dreams
stuck on a melody
with no way to shut off the tape

BEAT & QUAVER:
i can't stand it,
it's brain poison
my mind unravels
when i toy with
the thoughts it gives me
leave me wishing
but maybe that's
why life's worth living

BEAT:
reaching for something new
some feeling breaking through
i can't
understand it

QUAVER:
i see you in my dreams
stuck on a melody
too loud to
encounter

QUAVER
with all these memories
at least i'll never be
BEAT & QUAVER:
without you
QUAVER:
without her
…sort of.

da da daa ah
da da daa ah ahh ahh ahh ah ah

da da daa ah
da da daa ah ahh ahh ahh ah ahhhhhhhhh

I’M SO FUCKING TIIIIIIREEEEEEED

i heard it all again
the echoes in my mind
with nothing left behind
besides a pain between my eyes

but the shape around the space
is mirroring yours
I've tried to fill it in
so many times again
always the same experiment
but i don't really want that anymore

anymore...

ooohhh
ooohhh
ooohhh
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

you're just a part of my life
and you're just a part of my life
you're just a part of my life, aaah…
and i won't get rid of you
