Transient Love

I used to lie to myself all the time

I was always over-reacting, screaming "I'm gonna die."

But now I'm five thousand miles from a head on my shoulder

From a night I spent sober, screaming "I'm gonna die."

But all I ever wanted was to make things right

All I ever wanted was to make things right

Transient love, I was a ghost on your birthday

I was a runaway, somewhere in a grave of mistakes

Transient love, you should've seen the view from the mansion

It made me think of things we never mentioned

The things we're too afraid to say

Like what if I spend the next few years

Just somewhere in some atmosphere

While you're at home with pills for pain

I hope it doesn't end this way

All I ever wanted was to make things right

All I ever wanted was to make things right

Over and over in my head I tried

But all I ever wanted was to make things right
