Lost Cause Lyrics

[Verse 1: Richard Rogers]
Took a lot to get to 27
My knees are weak, but I'm still standing
I wasn't meant for making it
But I'm not the type to call it quits
Colly, but trying to be clean
Breaking but still in one piece
Hanging on, hanging on
But I feel like we're slipping

[Chorus: Richard Rogers]
We win some, but lose most
These close calls keep us close
This life is wearing thin, it's eating at my skin
We can't keep reflecting, just keep oppressing
On, and on and on until we find where we belong

[Verse 2: Richard Rogers]
I can't seem to get past all my problems
Try my best, but never solve them
I was never one for making it
And I think it's finally sinking in
Colly and not coming clean
Breaking and losing each piece
Falling down and falling down
No one's reaching out to catch me
[Breakdown: Wade Walters & Richard Rogers]
What's it gonna take for me to find my way?
I can't keep struggling to always finish in last place
Am I just wasting all my time? Chasing the wrong life?
I just wanna be, I just need to be
Free from the judgement when all vote against me
Free from opinions they built, but now I strike back
Can you even hear me? I'm fucking screaming
I just wanna be heard, will someone save me?
Bring me to safety?

[Chorus: Richard Rogers]
We win some, but lose most
These close calls keep us close
This life is wearing thin, it's eating at my skin
We can't keep reflecting, just keep oppressing
On, and on and on until we find where we belong

[Post-Chorus: Richard Rogers]
And I've given everything, given everything
But I get nothing, get nothing
And I'm not giving in, not giving in
My knees are weak, but I'm still standing

[Bridge: Richard Rogers]
Everyone tells me to stay strong
But I've got nothing to hold on
Everyone tells me to stay strong
But I've got nothing to hold on
Everyone tells me to stay strong
But I've got nothing
[Verse 3: Richard Rogers]
Lately my heart is a mess where anxiety nests
I feel invested in stress like it's all I have left
Every failure's a debt and they're up to my neck
I'm fucking drowning in doubt and there's no swimming out

[Outro: Richard Rogers]
Everyone tells me to stay strong
But I've got nothing to hold on
Everyone tells me to stay strong
But I've got nothing
