Temporary Highs

Intro (soft, melodic) Yeah… I told myself I’d be alright I lied again tonight Chorus (melodic) I’ve been chasing temporary highs Trying to numb what I feel inside Every time I say I’m fine It’s just another lie Heartbreak on replay Memories don’t fade I’m smiling in your face But I’m dying every day Verse 1 Love and pain kinda feel the same Different words but it’s the same old game I let you in, you rearranged Every part of my broken brain Now I’m driving with no destination Overthinking every conversation You said forever, guess that’s temporary Now my trust issues hereditary I see your name when my phone light up Even when it don’t, I still look it up I pour another drink in my cup Tryna fill the space you left with what? I gave you all that I had to give Now I don’t even know how to live You took my heart and you ran with it Now I’m stuck here handling it Pre-Chorus I don’t wanna feel this way But I don’t know how to change Every night it’s the same I’m fighting my own brain Chorus (melodic) I’ve been chasing temporary highs Trying to numb what I feel inside Every time I say I’m fine It’s just another lie Heartbreak on replay Memories don’t fade I’m smiling in your face But I’m dying every day Verse 2 I fall too fast, I know that Get attached then I collapse I push away before you can Just so I don’t relive the past I keep my demons on airplane mode But they still find me when I’m alone I hate that I still need your voice Even though I know you’re gone My friends say “bro, you’ll be okay” But they don’t hear what my thoughts say It’s 2AM and I can’t escape The version of you in my brain Pre-Chorus I don’t wanna feel this way But I don’t know how to change Every night it’s the same I’m fighting my own brain Chorus (melodic, layered) I’ve been chasing temporary highs Trying to numb what I feel inside Every time I say I’m fine It’s just another lie Heartbreak on replay Memories don’t fade I’m smiling in your face But I’m dying every day Outro (soft) Temporary highs… Permanent pain I told myself I’d be alright But I lied again
