Chris Flew - Socalemo lyrics

Break it off before it sticks and we can't get rid of it Paint the cracks, fill the holes Cover up this broken home It's such a mess, you left it here Hoping for a better year With less to say and more to do I only wish we'd made it through the one before And in a while you'll understand That I am just another guy With all the faults you couldn't fix I kept them locked away inside What went wrong before you left? Was it something that I said? I only opened up for fear of falling out of touch again And I didn't mean to make the same mistakes I swore I'd always leave Behind with all the other skeletons the past will never let you quite let go And in a while you'll understand I am just another guy With all the faults you couldn't fix The ones that never go away And I didn't mean to be your perfect I never was the one I only opened up for fear of getting too close to the sun I met you by the bay under Sausalito skies The bridge looks different in the winter And the Sacramento rain keeps on falling as I write In this letter never sent To a girl I used to dream of And three words I never meant
