New Shoes Lyrics

I bought some new shoes

But they only take me to the same old places

I am the ghost in my own attic, baby face it

There ain't nothing left here that's still worth saving

I'm going brain dead

Thinking 'bout the time I wasted this year

Wondering what we're all still doing here

I would tear my throat out just to catch your ear

But baby you ain't never round to hear me

If I am not enough

And never was

And never could be

One day I will be

Just wait and see

I'm going crazy

Confusing fear with onset apathy

Confusing anger with low self-esteem

Conflating my reflection with me

I am not the man I always meant to be

It's not enough

I swear I was

When given time

But all bets were off

When I looked you in the eyes

I promise I'll be okay

You go ahead and I'll stay

It's just a twisting of fate

(It's nothing to be afraid of)

You are the blood in my veins

You are the breath in my brain

We run but nothing will change

(It's nothing to be ashamed of)

You are the falling of rain

The feeling I can't erase

You put me back in my place

(It's nothing I couldn't wait for)

You were the best thing I knew

I want my heart split in two

It's always been about you

(It's nothing I wouldn't wait for)
