learning to lose ft. Greenwood Lyrics

Something was stolen

Something I borrowed

Must've been open

Must've been hollow

And open progression

Is nothing but awful

I trample my thoughts

Till they're tougher to swallow

It's passion that kills you

The nerve's gonna drive you insane

I can't stand to look back

When the only thing there is your name

I took this as a loss

When I should've been counting the days

It's a wish on a star

You're the only thing keeping me sane

I'm losing this game

When you're learning to lose

Well, the world isn't spinning the same

I put some distance out into the worlds

And I never trip about the way that it hurts

And I think they buried me deep in the dirt

But trust me, and trust me it still could get worse

Seventeen years in a hospital bed 

And they treat me different I know what it is

And it'd take a year to explain what it did

When I got a phantom inside of my limbs

Closed down, held over

And I found the worst way to tell you

And I couldn't leave but I'd let you

And tell me you think I'll be dead soon

Held down, I'm closer

And I found the best way to end it

And I didn't sleep just pretended

And fucked up my life like your friends said

It's passion that kills you

The nerve's gonna drive you insane

(Can't take back what I said, I'm the one you can blame)

I can't stand to look back

When the only thing there is your name

(Not the man in your heart, he had went with the pain)

I took this as a loss

When I should've been counting the days

(It's a pattern I keep, wish I'd throw it away)

It's a wish on a star

You're the only thing that's keeping me sane

(I know its too late)

I'm losing this game

When you're learning to lose

Well, the world isn't spinning the same
