Architect Lyrics by Matthew Nolan

2024

[Verse 1]
I didn't ask for this but I guess I kinda did
We were two hearts on fire burning faster than we'd admit
Adults tryna love like kids

[Pre-Chorus]
It's so easy to blame you, yeah, I'll play the victim
But it takes two to break apart
Did we try our best? Was it too late to save us?
Were we broken from the start?

[Chorus]
Why's it so damn hard to breathe now?
I'm drowning in the words that we never said
My imagination runs wild
I'm stuck inside the future in my head
Like an architect I'm planning out
A lifetime without you around
Why's it so damn hard to breathe now?
I'm drowning in the sea of what could have been
What could have been

[Verse 2]
Fought off with the worst of this
Then the second we've hit
I notice they will come but didn't think it'd come so quick
We were two cars on a burning bridge

[Pre-Chorus]
It's so easy to blame you, yeah, I'll play the victim
But it takes two to break apart
Did we try our best? Was it too late to save us?
Were we broken from the start?

[Chorus]
Why's it so damn hard to breathe now?
I'm drowning in the words that we never said
My imagination runs wild
I'm stuck inside the future in my head
Like an architect I'm planning out
A lifetime without you around
Why's it so damn hard to breathe now?
I'm drowning in the sea of what could have been
What could have been

[Bridge]
Foot out the door but I'm still holding on
I know it's done before you make it through the storm
Why God is it taking so long?
Am I better off alone? I don't know

[Pre-Chorus]
It's so easy to blame you, yeah, I'll play the victim
But it takes two to break apart
Did we try our best? Was it too late to save us?
Were we broken from the start?

[Chorus]
Why's it so damn hard to breathe now?
I'm drowning in the words that we never said
My imagination runs wild
I'm stuck inside the future in my head
Like an architect I'm planning out
A lifetime without you around
Why's it so damn hard to breathe now?
I'm drowning in the sea of what could have been
What could have been
