Lyrics:
Never made it as a strong man I couldn’t fake it as a broke man scheming Tired of walking like a lost man I’m sick of nights without a deeper meaning And this is how you remind me
This is how you remind me of who I really am
It’s not like you to say sorry I was waiting for a brand-new story This time I was shaken For giving you a heart worth breaking And I’ve been wrong, I’ve been low Fell to the bottom where the dark winds blow These five words in my head Scream, “Are we havin’ fun yet?”
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
It’s not like you didn’t feel that I said “I love you,” and I still mean it true But it cut you way too bad ‘Cause being with me almost damn destroyed you
This is how you remind me of who I really am
It’s not like you to say sorry I was waiting for a brand-new story This time I was shaken For giving you a heart worth breaking And I’ve been wrong, I’ve been low Fell to the bottom where the dark winds blow These five words in my head Scream, “Are we havin’ fun yet?”
