Broken Down Limousine by The Ready Aim Fire! Lyrics
So I've been slipping in and out of that static snow
Blaming the black or the gray or the white
Whatever was dancing in front of my eyes at the time
And I finally disappeared between the lines
I've been drowned out by the digital whine
And I'm alone with that indifferent silence
I wasted my life trying to hide
I'm a broken down limousine, baby
I was hoping for some help with that
I spent twenty years on the side of the road
Watching the cars pass
Sometimes I'd wake up to new breath in my bed
A beautiful girl to fill my head
Breathing, "Baby, give up, don't leave
Quit running from those words
Oh, they've already been said."
And it's like fighting sleep
I always lose
And an ocean up rises up
Around our room
And when I finally drown in it
I won't have an excuse
Cuz I lock the doors from the inside
Oh, I lock the doors from the inside
So my eyes, my eyes
My eyes will drift below
Below sea level
When she asks, when she asks
"Don't you love me?
Don't you love me anymore?"
Well, I don't, I don't, I don't
I never loved anyone
Maybe I never loved anyone
Maybe I just needed to so bad
That I thought I did
Maybe I never loved anyone
Maybe I never loved anyone
Maybe I just needed to so bad, so bad
That I thought I did
Well, I thought I did
Well, I thought I did
Well, I thought I did
I was so sure I did
I was so sure I did
And I end up back on the side of the road
Waiting for my heartbeat to sink into the asphalt
And reaching out into the traffic
It's a sad excuse for romance
And I don't stop
But I'm gonna stop
Well, I'm trying to stop
I mean, goddamn
I keep breaking my arms
I oughta be more careful
Cuz there are things that don't ever, ever heal
So when the morning comes this time
I wake up on my own
And I swear I don't mind
I'm not afraid to be alone
But I'm stuck under the sheets
Like they're made of lead
I'm still stuck under the sheets
Like they're made of lead
And now that fear is crawling back into bed
Yeah, now that fear is crawling back into bed
I say, "Darling, that fear has crawled its way back into our bed,"
But she's gone now, but she's gone now
But she's gone now, but she's gone now
So it's just me
So it's just me
So it's just me
So it's just me
So I scream, "Baby, I'm wrong, I'm wrong
I'm wrong, I've been wrong."
But I've known I was right all along
I never believed in those love songs
But I wanted to
Oh God, I still want to
But this is it, this is it, I'm done
So please
Don't help me out of this hole
This hole I've dug into my stomach
I haven't been taking my pills
I keep trying to forget that it's there
But I know, but I know, but I know that it is
But I know, but I know it's there
And it's my own fucking fault
So I'm done pretending that some love can fix it
There is nothing, no one, no love that can fix it
So I'm done
Now I'm done
So I'm done, so I'm done, so I'm done, now I'm done
So there's nothing, no one, no love that can fix it
There's nothing, no one, no love that can fix it
And baby, if you can't fix it
Then I'm done
Now, I'm done
Blaming the black or the gray or the white
Whatever was dancing in front of my eyes at the time
And I finally disappeared between the lines
I've been drowned out by the digital whine
And I'm alone with that indifferent silence
I wasted my life trying to hide
I'm a broken down limousine, baby
I was hoping for some help with that
I spent twenty years on the side of the road
