lyrics

You'll never feel that good again
Till you've saved up enough sadness
Can't keep drinking like that
Won't make your memory cleansed
I wish I knew how your life works
But all I see are failures
And I don't like it like that
Not as much as you do

I wish I could wish you happiness
I wish I could smile but I can't pretend
I wish I could say you deserve the best
But I'm here to watch you lose
At least a little bit
Just to prove what I'm worth

The usual mysterious circumstance surrounds the way your feelings died
Can I get a witness?
It's amazing how our love combines
With the poison and the fear in our lives
And turns into hate
What a wonderful world

I wish I could wish you happiness
I wish I could smile but I can't pretend
I wish I could say you deserve the best
But I'm here to watch you lose
At least a little bit
Just to prove what I'm worth

I know it's not the healthy thing
I remember when that mattered
But these feelings I hide
They don't follow logic

I wish I could wish you happiness
I wish I could smile but I can't pretend
I wish I could say you deserve the best
But I'm here to watch you lose
At least a little bit
Just to prove what I'm worth
Burn a little bit
Just to prove what I'm worth
Die a little bit
Just to prove what I'm worth
You'll never feel that good again
