Golden Misery (Redux) Lyrics

A rookie mistake, I'll admit it

But at least I had the time to realize it was finished

And I'm swimming

In all my broken promises, vacate the premises

Soon I'll have another fucking meltdown

In all this time, I realize I'm a letdown

I'd apologize, and honestly I'm not proud

But I'm out now

So I'll stay out

And let the clock wind down

I'm digging through my mind, searching for the lost memories

Dust 'em off, and hold 'em tight, like it's lights out

I tell 'em that I'm fine, but it's difficult to let go

So I'mma just go

No, I guess I didn't try enough to keep you

So now I'm doing all this shit so I'll forget you

Maybe, in due time, you'll be off my mind

So I'll write some rhymes that don't involve you

God damn, I don't know where it went wrong

If I tried, we'd be taking our time, we'd be on the same grind

Living both our best lives, we'd be fine, but I guess not

Yeah, I'm blaming myself, would you rather me help out, oh well, guess what, peace out

I'll be working out, sweating out the toxic

Broken dreams

Living in golden misery

Waiting on a text I'll never get

"Baby, I'm sorry, I missed you"

'Cause I've been sleeping in

The countless dreams you're in

Baby, I don't know if I've been dead

But with how you act, it seems like it

Since you left, I'll tell you what, I'm fucking killing it

I've been working on myself, and I'm feeling it

Been a while since I stopped right in my tracks

Got a knack for ignoring all the thoughts inside my head, baby

And it hurts a little bit when I see you with another man

Who took my place and how you look so happy with him

But it's all good, I know I never needed you

You're moving soon, maybe then it'll pass, you kicked my ass, took the fast lane

I was going slow, feeling love, you hit the gas pedal

Left me in the dust, blinded by the toxic

Broken dreams

Living in golden misery

Waiting on a text I'll never get

"Baby, I'm sorry, I missed you"

'Cause I've been sleeping in

The countless dreams you're in

Baby, I don't know if I've been dead

But with how you act, it seems like it
