Lyrics for Beams

We were soberin' up on a stranger's stairs Looking over shots of Harley Weir Oh, I felt so dumb when I told you square "I was suicidal in Brazil" I know it's not a way to treat people you love, you love I know it's not a way to treat people you love People you love People you love I know I said I'd be okay, but you're smashin' me up I know it's late where you are, but I can't bear hangin' up I know I said I'd be okay, but you're smashin' me up I know it's late where you are, but I'm scared of what I've done You held me under your spell, you held me un- You held me under, held me under Oh, it broke my heart when you pulled away Corner shard of sunset hangin' red Oh, I never thought my oldest pain Could be something you'd grow to resent I know it's not a way to treat people you love, you love I know it's not a way to treat people you love People you love People you love I feel it all, I feel it all Nothing at all I feel it all, I feel it all Nothing at all I know it's the right thing to do, but I don't wanna I know it's the right thing to do, but I don't wanna I know it's the right thing to do, but I don't wanna I know it's the right thing to do, but I don't wanna I know I said I'd be okay, but you're smashin' me up I know it's late where you are, but I can't bear hangin' up I know I said I'd be okay, but you're smashin' me up I know it's late where you are, but I'm scared of what I've done But I'm scared of what I've done
