lyrics

How can we be this distant
When the blood in our veins
Contains the same DNA?

Walk up the stairs and pass
The portraits on the walls
From times I barely can recall

They're fading like a negative that's left out in the sun
Replaced by every time I was a disappointing son
I'll watch the tapes of holidays from back when I was young
When things were simpler and I never hurt anyone

How did we ever let this get so bad?
Essentially strangers now, it's goddamn sad
How did we ever let this get so...

How long can I keep this bottled
Til it all comes spilling out
With my voice raised to a shout

Oh god
Look me in the eyes
Understand I'm not fine

Miscommunication is a curse that we can't shake
And we'll just separate when smiling gets too hard to fake
Our roots are rotting and our ties have decayed
Why the hell are we pushing each other away?

How did we ever let this get so bad?
Essentially strangers now, it's goddamn sad
How did we ever let this get so bad?

I won't ever call when my life starts to fall apart
I won't ever call when my life starts to fall apart in my hands again

How did we ever let this get so bad?
Essentially strangers now, it's goddamn sad
How did we ever let this get so bad?

How did we ever let this get so bad?
You don't even know me now, it's goddamn sad
How did we ever let this get so bad?
