I used to think I would make it
Now I don't really care
I used to think I would make it

There's a guy I used to know
I remember him lying in the afterglow
He used to dream that he would be someone great
Now that's a little late

I used to think I would make it
Now I don't really care
Don't even bother, fake it
I don't really care

Fading heartbeats and nowhere to breathe
All of a sudden my life is a river
Dragging me down to show me what's beneath
Please prepare to wither

I'd wait for you and me
I'd wait for honesty
For a reason to be
For the fish that swim the seas
For the birds on the breeze
Or the damned land for world peace

I used to think I would make it
Now I don't really care
Don't even bother, fake it
I don't really care

Fading heartbeats and nowhere to breathe
All of a sudden my life is a river
Dragging me down to show me what's beneath
Please prepare to wither
Please prepare to wither
Please prepare to wither

I used to think I would make it
Now I don't really care
Don't even bother, fake it
I don't really care

Fading heartbeats and nowhere to breathe
All of a sudden my life is a river
Dragging me down to show me what's beneath
Please prepare to wither
