Tradition Lyrics by Thousand Below

The Love You Let Too Close

2017

[Chorus]
So maybe I was wrong, I couldn't leave it dead
I never felt so alone, I think I'm seeing red
We'll never be the same, I see it missing
And I hate the way that you are, but we're not that different

[Verse 1]
Face in the mirror, I'm okay now, I'm okay now
Least that's what I'll keep tellin' myself
On the way down, on the way down
Maybe I'm to blame, can't help what I'm thinking
Least that's what I'll keep tellin' myself
But I'll keep singing

[Pre-Chorus]
Cut down like it's all tradition
Heart rate, can you see it missing?
Step back, I won't admit that maybe I'm broken, I won't listen
Cut down like it's all tradition
Heart rate, can you see it missing?
Leave it, I don't want to be that
I don't want to be the one left bleeding
But now I'm stuck tailored to this suit of broken skin

[Chorus]
So maybe I was wrong, I couldn't leave it dead
I never felt so alone, I think I'm seeing red
We'll never be the same, I see it missing
And I hate the way that you are, but we're not that different

[Verse 2]
"Am I worth fixing?" is all I really have to say
Take in my perspective or I can find myself a way
Breaking down the structure of my soul 'til I can see
Everything's so resilient, showing proof that I can breathe

[Refrain]
Just know that I'll keep singin', I'll keep breathin'
My reflection is all I'm missing
I keep singin', I'll keep breathin'
My reflection is all I'm missing

[Chorus]
So maybe I was wrong, I couldn't leave it dead
I never felt so alone, I think I'm seeing red
We'll never be the same, I see it missing
And I hate the way that you are, but we're not that different
Not that different, not that different
And I hate the way that you are, but we're not that different
