A Song From August Lyrics

I woke up in the middle of the night

all alone oh I'm still getting used to this

I turn on the lights cause there's just no use

Confronted by the polaroid of you

Sitting on the dresser in what used to be our room

And suddenly I'm engulfed by a ring of flames

The years choke me as I breathe 'em in

Excuses that I used to give I just can't

You had both my hands tied asking me to take a swim

Cross the ocean for your final trick

But the world was busy turning and I got tired of missing it

I tried to tell you that something wasn't right

For the longest time but you turned it back on me

You looked me dead in the face and lied

By August I was traumatized

Cause I believed ya when you said that you just needed more time

Suddenly I'm engulfed by a ring of flames

The years choke me as I breathe 'em in

Excuses that I used to give I just can't

You had both my hands tied asking me to take a swim

Cross the ocean for your final trick

But the world was busy turning and I got tired of missing it

So I tipped it and we capsized

But you're still trapped up in the victims mind

You should fix that sometime you should fix that some time

Cause I tried believe me I tried

To help you see but it was ruining my life

I'm not trying to be mean

Suddenly I'm engulfed by a ring of flames

The years choke me as I breathe 'em in

Excuses that I used to give I just can't

You had both my hands tied asking me to take a swim

Cross the ocean for your final trick

But the world was busy turning and

I got tired of missing it

Oh I got tired of missing tired of missing tired of missing it

Oh oh
