Dan Haynes - The Story So Far lyrics

[Verse 1] They told me to drop it They told me my sk**s were in office They told me this music thing's off and I will never be the man that I wanted To be, that used to be me Always told me what my life shouldn't be Told me my goal is to get a degree Told me the cycle of life isn't key Well I'm tryna do me I'm tryna do something that everyone told me I can't Now everybody is changed, getting their girlfriends naked Happy as f** in their basement While I've been thinking my life has been wasted Saying I hate it, this is smile is fake and "Nobody makes it, stick to the basics" "Zach, if only you knew what you were chasing" "We all know you're milking emotions, you hope we don't notice" I'm sick of you people telling me I'm hopeless f** it, I know this, you're shooting for low When I'm shooting for stars that have never been glowing to me What the f** am I gonna believe? Stuck in this room with nobody but me Like what is a team? I can't say I've seen one I bleed love, never had a friend, try to believe but When I'm following you, I'll follow your steps Everyone told me to just give my best But they don't care and don't get when I'm stressed I've been losing each part of my mind when I vent So again I pretend that I understand love Every single feeling, I've been making them up So now I'm lost in a rut, with no one but us I wanna say I found these feelings that aren't rushed [Verse 2] This is The Story So Far, I light up the dark Inclining towards everything we regard Nobody told me this life would be hard I'm needing it bad, I'm sick of the start With a broken mind, but inside it Nothing but fear and the reason for silencing Saying that a far-fetched dream ain't mindless But realize that deep down you're lying What is a sheep to a lion? Broken defiance No care for me but you hate when I'm silent Keep to yourself, you're the same as a tyrant Stuck on this island alone in my thoughts Know that I've given you all that I got Out in this world and you know that I'm lost I know that I wasn't the one that you want Now it just feels like I'm stuck in a plot, twist [Verse 3] Just one final kiss? I've never been empty enough to be one to finally accept this Girl you took my breath and, now it's hard to breathe What happened to us? What ever happened to extending our family tree? I'm gushing out everything These emotions I f**ing bleed Why did you lie? Why did you leave? See, that's just the thing When I start talking bout you I would cling I'm tryna fly with a par of these wings Knowing they're broken but not giving in Man I'm sick of this skin, buying you things Thinking that money is what makes a king Every single shot you had, I would swing Just like your mood, and just like this string That's been holding us up, over these years I'm just wondering why I'm still here A label is all that I'm able to comprehend Because you said that I'm able You said that I'm able! [Verse 4] You told me to follow a dream Not knowing you meant to add pipe inbetween I'm feeling so guilty and hope that you read These letters or lyrics you probably won't see So tell me to follow a dream I get it, you're happy as f**ing can be By snapping your thoughts and life and You're me understand what I can be So I'm spilling all that I've got, feeling so lost When I fell down there's no one who caught me It's hard to believe, the world had me beat And brought down to my knees So I'm feeling so beaten to d**h, leaving a mess Leaving a trace of the life that you left I'm sick of it, sick of the stress Tired of wearing you like a regret But I messed up [Verse 5] Why'd I pick you? Every single myth leaves a trace of the truth Every single lie that you kept, you would brew Now here I am, broke with nothing to lose But I'm glad that you're happy and wish you the greatest Wondering if I can make it Another day stuck in this basement Wasting my time as I sit and I waited for someone who hated... me
