"BETTER AS A MEMORY" lyrics

Deep down you know
We're going under
Deep down you know
I'd be better as a memory

Turn me loose because I'm fucked up
And only meant to be a deep cut
Didn't mean to drag you down with me
Guess you're meant to lose your crown with me
Ah
I burn the candle at both ends
I see the world through a cracked lense
Ain't no pieces left to pick up
Even the fire says it's given up

Deep down you know
We're going under
Deep down I know
But still I wonder

Why do we feel the need to scream?
When it brings us only pain
All the words we used to say don't
Don't mean a thing
When I keep you on the edge
Just push me from the ledge
Cause deep down you know
I'd be better as a memory

I set a mood like a crime scene
I fall back to the same routine
I know this life will be the death of me
Can't look away but it's hard to see

Why do we feel the need to scream?
When it brings us only pain
All the words we used to say don't
Don't mean a thing
When I keep you on the edge
Just push me from the ledge
Cause deep down you know
I'd be better as a memory

Turn me loose because I'm fucked up
And only meant to be a deep cut
Didn't mean to drag you down with me
Guess you're meant to lose your crown with me

Why do we feel the need to scream?
When it brings us only pain
All the words we used to say don't
Don't mean a thing
When I keep you on the edge
Just push me from the ledge
Cause deep down you know
I'd be better as a memory

Deep down you know
We're going under
Deep down I know
But still I wonder
Why I keep you on the edge?
Just push me from the ledge
Cause deep you know
I'd be better as a memory
