Jefferson Lyrics by The Cinema Story

2022

I never thought of God as someone who was looking out for me
And I just feel so lost, trying to figure out why you were taken away from me
The fire in my lungs the smoke is building I never stop to breathe
And if I gave them one more shot, would they fuck it up and watch me leave
Cause all I've ever known is a house is not a home
And a family who would rather see me struggle on my own

I never thought that I was good enough to die young
I never thought that I, that I was smart enough to live long
I never thought that I was smart enough
I've been sleeping in late again
I've been turning my phone off
I've been blowing up all my friends
But I'm trying my hardest

Everybody out, the smoke is building now but I'm choking
I never felt so lost, I should have stayed
But I thought that I was wrong
I should have known that you were strong enough when everyone let go
You held on longer
Cause all I've ever known is a kid who couldn't make it
And a child that would rather fail than ask you for a favor

I never thought that I was good enough to die young
But I never thought that I, that I was smart enough to live long
I never thought that I was smart enough
I've been sleeping in late again
I've been turning my phone off
I've been blowing up all my friends
But I'm trying my hardest

Do you ever look at where we are and wonder where we're going
Do you think we'll see the end or is it better just not knowing
Do you think we'll see the end or is it better just not knowing

I've been sleeping in late again
I've been turning my phone off
I've been blowing up all my friends
But I'm trying my hardest
But I'm trying my hardest
