lyrics

I am a scared man, I am lost
I lost the meaning and I can’t count the cost
They said to be anything except for myself
If that’s the case I’ll be somebody else
I am the man I don’t want to be
I know this world is no home for me
I can’t get back, Ive strayed from the road
I’ll do what I can because I can’t go home

I dropped my diamond for a dime, and left it there on my shelf
I wear my heart on my sleeve and keep my thoughts to myself
I needed someone to take me home
But when I called no one answered, what do you know. what do I know?

And I hope you understand that you’re all better off without me
And I hope you know it hurts to know you’re happy

Just because I’m leaving, doesn't mean I don’t believe you
It just doesn’t matter anymore, nothing matters anymore
So if my plane crashes tonight, I hope you know that you were right about me
about everything

Paint me black and blue and tell me smile, lighten up
Every step I took this year was another step towards giving up
My diamond dropped me like a dime, said take the time enjoy the view
And then she blacked out all my windows so now I sleep all afternoon

I hope that one day you learn to believe, that this was never about me

And just because you’re leaving doesn’t mean I don’t believe you
It just doesn’t matter anymore, nothing matters anymore
So if my plane crashes tonight, I hope you now that you were right about me
About everything
