Lyrics

Careful giving second chances

Caution is needed when offering another opportunity

That you have to earn

Second chances must be deserved or earned

I'm stacking cards into a house that's made of all these words

Compiling words or promises like building a fragile structure

All there is is silence on the other end I heard

Encountering silence when expecting a response

How'm I s'posed to read between the lines when they are blurred?

Difficulty understanding ambiguous communication

I don't know

Uncertainty about the situation or feelings

I don't know if all of this was worth it

Questioning the value or significance of past actions

Chasing you around the city while you burned it

Pursuing someone persistently despite negative consequences

I sat on that vacant line and I was searching

Waiting for a connection or response in a vacant state

Disconnected for some time and now I'm certain

Feeling disconnected temporarily, but now certain about something

The grass is only greener 'cause it's fake

Recognition that things appear better but are artificial

I don't give my time away for you to waste

Refusal to waste time on someone who doesn't value it

Do you love the idea more than the real thing?

Questioning if there's more attachment to an idealized concept than reality

What you don't repair today you will repeat

Highlighting the importance of addressing issues promptly

In times of crisis

During challenging times

We sport masks that we let go

Wearing emotional masks that are eventually discarded

It's not just what you say

Actions speak louder than words

It's what you do and what you don't

Accountability for both actions taken and actions avoided

The ivy on the siding is completely overgrown

Neglect or abandonment leading to excessive growth

I used to have a lot to say

Previously had a lot to express but not responsible for it anymore

It's not my shit to own

Detachment from certain responsibilities or issues

I don't know

Reiterating uncertainty about past choices

I don't know if all of this was worth it

Repeating doubts about the worth of past actions

Chasing you around the city while you burned it

Continued pursuit despite destructive consequences

I sat on that vacant line and I was searching

Searching for connection or answers in an empty space

Disconnected for some time and now I'm certain

Initially disconnected, now feeling assured

The grass is only greener 'cause it's fake

Recognition that apparent advantages are artificial

I don't give my time away for you to waste

Refusing to waste time on someone unworthy

Do you love the idea more than the real thing?

Questioning if affection is more for an idea than reality

What you don't repair today you will repeat

Emphasizing the importance of addressing problems promptly

Now I know

Arriving at a realization or understanding

Now I know all of this was worth it

Understanding the value of past experiences

There were a million things I had to come to terms with

Accepting and reconciling with numerous past issues

Built my structure up from everything that burned me

Building strength from past experiences that caused pain

Farewell to my fake friends they don't deserve me

Bidding farewell to insincere friends

I can't look the other way it's got me circling

Feeling trapped or stuck in a cyclical pattern

All because of a page that I'm scared of turning

Anxiety or hesitation about progressing to the next phase

Don't know why I'm so afraid it isn't working

Uncertainty and fear about the current situation

Count me out

Declaring disassociation or opting out

Count me out

Repeating disengagement or refusal

Now I know

Confirmation of understanding the value of past actions

Now I know all of this was worth it

Understanding and appreciating the value of past struggles

Sold out stadiums baby yeah I earned it

Achieving significant success after personal growth

Found a home inside myself so I'd stop searching

Discovering contentment within oneself, ending the search
