American Idle Lyrics by Young Culture

Young Culture

2020

[Intro]
I've been sleeping awake
Missing everything I used to be
And you've been slipping away
Letting go of all that's left of me
[Verse 1]
Just admit I'm not the person that you're used to
My heart is frozen, now I'm cold and you need something to change
You put your finger on the gun, but I'm not bulletproof
For what it's worth, I'll do my best if you still want me to stay
But I think this time the sadness turned to pain, to pain
Maybe I'm the one to blame
[Chorus]
I've been sleeping awake
Missing everything I used to be
And you’ve been slipping away
Letting go of all that’s left of me
[Verse 2]
At what age do I grow out of anxiеty?
I'm so tired of the darkness in my mind
I'vе burned out all the love that was inside of me
But you're spent and you're leaving me tonight
(Couldn't hold on to save my life)
[Chorus]
I've been sleeping awake
Missing everything I used to be
And you've been slipping away
Letting go of all that’s left of me
But maybe you're in the wrong
I was idle, but you clipped my leaves
You left me here all alone
Holding onto all that's left of me
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Oh, maybe I'm bad news
Maybe you're my muse
But the truth is you shouldn't have been
Maybe I'm fucked up
Did I push my luck?
Either way, you never cared in the end
[Chorus]
I've been sleeping awake
Missing everything I used to be
And you've been slipping away
Letting go of all that’s left of me
But maybe you're in the wrong
I was idle, but you clipped my leaves
You left me here all alone
Holding onto all that's left of me, left of me
[Outro]
Left of me
