100 Years Lyrics

I guess a broken heart heals faster than a broken ego

I don't know who you are but still yearn for who you were not

Who you were not, it's who I made up

I was disrupting the facade

Hence, your anger is my fault

The only way to act with you is not to act at all

I should've kept my mouth shut, it was all my fault

Yet somehow you still dream of love stories and happy endings

But deep down you must know it's not meant for you, in the end

Peace is something you'll spend your whole life looking for

If you keep on draining other people's life force

And you can write all the letters that you want

And I'll keep on writing my truth down in my songs

Remember how excited you were, said you'd never had a writer before

Was this your biggest regret of them all?

I was 23

And you made me feel just like I did at 16

A sweet innocence that surely enough didn't come for free

I paid with a million tears and a hundred years

That I've aged since the very first day that we met

We've made our bed

And I guess now we need to die in it

You're addicted to this delusion of who you think you are

And once I challenged that false self, it was game over

I played my last cards and you pulled out a joker

It took some time for me to realise what was going on

And don't get me wrong, I don't think you're bad to the bone

We were just a bad match

But I truly hope you're not going to make anyone else ever feel like that again

Too coked up again to grasp the concept of empathy

I'm crying and I'm shaking on the floor while you're screaming at me

Stop screaming at me, I know how I feel

Your drunken words, they come straight out of hell

They slowly broke me more every day by day

I wanna believe in the good in you but I don't know how you live with yourself

I was 23

And you made me feel just like I did at 16

A sweet innocence that surely enough didn't come for free

I paid with a million tears and a hundred years

That I've aged since the very first day that we met

We've made our bed

And I guess now we need to die in it

Now I'm 25

And I'm done trying to fix men just to keep them in my life

Release them to the abyss, let the emotional vortex for once come to a rest

I'm all out of tears, aged too many years

Learned enough lessons to last a lifetime

But we've made our bed

And now it's time for us to die in it

Don't wanna hear from you

I need to heal from you

But you'd have to kill me to shut me up for good

And my heart is still full of what if-s and what could be-s

But at least my mind is now finally at peace

And I know you must think calling you out was my worst mistake

Since you've made me pay for it every single day

Was always caught in crippling doubt but I live to tell the tale now
