Lyrics: How Far Falling Short Gets You

I'm a mess I tell myself got nothing left and nothing helps
Drinking alone and passing out unplugged the phone cause it's too loud
And no one even cares at all I'm telling stories to the wall
Just grit your teeth and bear the pain but when I breathe I'm suffering
The days are long so are the nights I'm writing songs to pass the time

I wrote you a letter yesterday
Signed "from your favorite memory"
Cause that's all I will ever be

There's not a drug made that can make me forget I ever loved you
I found that out the easy way
You make your way from the gutter to the sky
I stopped between the streets and the stars to see you cry
It's hard to tell your tears from the rain tonight

There's character in anger and there's beauty in frustration
There's questions then there's answers then there's silent suffocation
Cause I read your lips one thousand times you bled my kiss till it ran dry
Till every story sounds the same when the stories done what's left to say
You bend then fold then break apart I fell too short but by how far

I called to tell you I'm okay
You called me your favorite mistake
Is that all you can say to me?
