Intervention Lyrics
I know that I just fucked up everything,
And I know that nights like these might leave a scar.
I gave up every goddamn thing for you,
And now I'm stuck here in the backseat of my car.
And you know sometimes, when I'm drunk on wine, I think I can change.
When the morning kills the hopes, and hills turn mountain range,
Then this world works like a machine,
It keeps smashing my dreams,
So I stay close to myself,
'Cause when you live in hell, you know things never work out.
I get consumed by the doubt.
I'm not surprised at the way it ended up today.
Say "what's the point?" as you look down and close your eyes.
"There's a million ways that we never tried.
See, all my friends already gone, and you're still here."
Then you close the door, watch you mouth goodbye.
When I find my keys, I'm eastbound walking home.
And I curse the skies and kick these cobblestones.
I gave you every goddamn thing I've got.
And if you add it up, I guess it's not a lot.
But you know sometimes, when I'm drunk on wine, I think I can change.
When the morning kills the hopes, and hills turn mountain range,
Then this world works like a machine,
It keeps smashing my dreams,
So I stay close to myself,
'Cause when you live in hell, you know things never work out.
I get consumed by the doubt.
I'm not surprised at the way it ended up today.
Dark eyes unfocused on the light.
Gonna be another lonely night.
I don't have time for intervention.
I hear almost every word you say.
We're just getting by in different ways.
I don't have time for intervention.
It took me years to build this wall.
All brick by brick, just let me fall.
I don't have time for intervention.
I know exactly what I need,
A ride home and a couple days of sleep.
I don't have time for intervention.
And I know that nights like these might leave a scar.
I gave up every goddamn thing for you,
And now I'm stuck here in the backseat of my car.
When the morning kills the hopes, and hills turn mountain range,
It keeps smashing my dreams,
So I stay close to myself,
'Cause when you live in hell, you know things never work out.
I get consumed by the doubt.
I'm not surprised at the way it ended up today.
"There's a million ways that we never tried.
See, all my friends already gone, and you're still here."
Then you close the door, watch you mouth goodbye.
And I curse the skies and kick these cobblestones.
I gave you every goddamn thing I've got.
And if you add it up, I guess it's not a lot.
When the morning kills the hopes, and hills turn mountain range,
It keeps smashing my dreams,
So I stay close to myself,
'Cause when you live in hell, you know things never work out.
I get consumed by the doubt.
I'm not surprised at the way it ended up today.
Gonna be another lonely night.
I don't have time for intervention.
We're just getting by in different ways.
I don't have time for intervention.
All brick by brick, just let me fall.
I don't have time for intervention.
A ride home and a couple days of sleep.
I don't have time for intervention.
