So let’s face it this was never what you wanted
But I know it’s fun to pretend
Now blank stares and empty threats
Are all I have, they’re all I have
So drown me and if you can
Or we could just have conversation
And I fall, I fall, I falter
But I’ll find you before I drift away
Now you still speak of day old hate
Though your whole world has gone up into flames
And isn’t it great to find that you’re really worth nothing
And how safe it is to feel safe
So drown me and if you can
Or we could just have conversation
And I fall, I fall, I falter
But I’ll find you before I drift away
The things we do just to stay alive
The things we do just to stay alive
The things we do just to stay alive
The things we do just to keep ourselves alive
Music is a curious thing. I listened this song before I understand anything of english. Many time after, I still feel the same when I hear his voice. Guess emotion is a different language...
I remember driving home through a storm, during a very difficult and lonely time in my life and I had to pull over when this song came on. Between the rain and my eyes, I couldn't see shit. I sat there playing the song on repeat until I purged it all and moved on. Moments like this play the catalyst for reflection and eventually real change. Thanks, Dallas.
"I love life . . . I'm sad, but at the same time I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad. It's like, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin' really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I'm feelin' is like a, beautiful sadness. I guess that sounds stupid." Butters Stotch

Just got out of a 5 and a half year relationship recently.
Someone I planned on marrying, but life changes, things happen and I am not with the one I love anymore.
This song has really helped me through a lot of the pain.
This song is so hard to listen to, I can never hold back the tears...reminds me of how fragile life is, how much I care for and need my loved ones. It makes me want to hold them and protect them all at the same time. A very powerful song. It really gets to me late at night..
