Seb Barlow - Hightail lyrics

I had it all I gave it up You're picking diamonds from the rough I persevered these last few years to make your world keep turning They all say bad things come in threes These days my bad deeds grow on trees I can't believe I dragged my feet this long It's quite concerning We can't keep looking past our problems Open your eyes admit defeat Both know that screaming doesn't solve them We go again and hit repeat Can't take time back now was it worth it? Found my path and I'll unearth it Slash all my ties and hide away My own d**h I faked it Although it hurts to pretend it was a means to an end I'm heading to better places This chokehold I escaped it Searching for my virtue but its heavily sedated With any luck I'll kick the bucket Thought I'd stay a while but f** it Lived in fear of missing something Is she gonna relate? Or slash my tyres and trash my stuff And blow it up then call my bluff And see if I sit and do nothing or just wish it away? Five A.M I'm seeing double Poison chugged straight from the bottle Entrance stamp still on my hand Held it down but she's still mad Modesty or vanity from your split personality You're too blind to see My own d**h I faked it Although it hurts to pretend it was a means to an end I'm heading to better places This chokehold I escaped it Searching for my virtue but its heavily sedated And that was how the story ended Refused to put me out when I went up in flames I guess it's better than pretending Tried to keep it alight ‘cause you don't feel the same My own d**h I faked it
