Life Was Easier When I Only Cared About Me

(album: Apocalypse Whenever - 2022)

Strolling the streets in this ghost of a town
And my future looking bleak, my head filled with sound, yeah
As I lost signal on the train underground
And my thoughts came flooding in, I started to drown, yeah

You caught me by surprise, changed my destination, oh yeah
Kaleidoscopic eyes forming constellations, yeah

I had no reason to breathe
Until you knocked the wind out of me
I had no light I could see
Until your radiance blinded me

I was spinning around and around in an ocean of grief
Your ladder came down to the sea
I hope the pain never ends
Your love is so bittersweet
Life was easier when I only cared about me
When I only cared about me
When I only cared about me

Missing the nights when my friends were around
We start going unsteady, cruel merry-go-round, yeah
Lit my own fuse, I could not blow it out
I was strapped to a rocket aimed right at the ground, yeah

You caught me by surprise, changed my destination, oh yeah
Kaleidoscopic eyes forming constellations, yeah

I had no reason to breathe
Until you knocked the wind out of me
I had no light I could see
Until your radiance blinded me

I was spinning around and around in an ocean of grief
Your ladder came down to the sea
I hope the pain never ends
Your love is so bittersweet
Life was easier when I only cared about me
When I only cared about me
When I only cared about me
Life was easier when I only cared about me

(No reason to breathe, no light I could see)
(No reason to breathe, no light I could see)
(No reason to breathe, I had no light I could see)

I had no reason to breathe
Until you knocked the wind out of me
I had no light I could see
Until your radiance blinded me

I was spinning around and around in an ocean of grief
Your ladder came down to the sea
I hope the pain never ends
Your love is so bittersweet
Life was easier when I only cared about me
When I only cared about me
When I only cared about me
Life was easier when I only cared about me
When I only cared about me, oh, oh
I hope the pain never ends
Your love is so bittersweet
Life was easier when I only cared about me
