as good as it gets

(album: you and me again - 2020)

I remember the way the light felt
On your shoulders that day
I remember the face I made
When you got the call
Just throw your hope away

I type out too many messages
A million things
I wish that I could fix
I wonder if this is
As good as it gets
As good as it gets

If it was up to me
I wouldn't have to be
Counting the heartbeats
In my chest
You want to believe
I'll escape from tragedy
But destroying myself
Is what I do best

Get me out
Of my fucking head
Sometimes I wish
I could take back what I said
I wonder if this is
As good as it gets
As good as it gets

Maybe this is as good as it gets
Maybe this is as good as it gets
Maybe this is as good as it gets
Maybe this is as good as it gets

If it was up to me
I wouldn't have to be
Counting the heartbeats
In my chest
You want to believe
I'll escape from tragedy
But destroying myself
Is what I do best

Get me out
Of my fucking head
Sometimes I wish
I could take back what I said
I wonder if this is
As good as it gets
As good as it gets

I remember the way the light felt
On your shoulders that day
I remember the face I made
When you got the call
Just throw your hope away
