These Days
MANWOLVES Lyrics

Heartache can't heal my pain
Despite the pain of heartache, it cannot heal the pain itself

Me and you together haven't been the same
Our relationship has changed and is not the same as it used to be

I don't wanna play these games
I am tired of the emotional games we play in our relationship

But I want it before these days
I want things to go back to the way they were in the past, before our problems started

Girl, you're like a good cigarette
You may bring harm to me, but I am still addicted to you

Killing me slowly but right now you know that I'm loving it
Despite the damage you are causing, I am still enjoying our time together

Barely together, aw man, we really strugglin'
Our relationship is barely holding on and we are struggling to keep it together

Filling my void up, damn I'm really a mess
You are filling the void in my life, but I am still a mess emotionally

I'm in love with my stuff, but you're out for my gut
I am more focused on my personal belongings, but you want to take advantage of my vulnerability

I am getting so tough, but it's getting so rough
I am trying to be stronger, but our situation keeps getting harder to handle

Can't believe with my eyes, all the shit in my life
I cannot believe the amount of negativity and struggles in my life

Sticking out for my guys, sticking out for your lies
I am trying to remain loyal to my friends, despite your dishonesty

Easing up on my pain, all these drugs are the same
I am using drugs to ease my emotional pain, but they all provide the same temporary relief

The first time I had my own way
The first time I had control and independence in my life, but that has since changed

You know that I am happy for you
I am genuinely happy for your successes and joy in life

But I can't be happy with you
Although I want to be happy with you, our relationship does not allow for that

Headaches and hangovers, from this heartache and painkillers
The emotional pain is causing physical symptoms in the form of headaches and hangovers from painkiller use

Lovesick then I'm gon' age older,
Being lovesick and experiencing heartache is causing me to age prematurely

Life gets so short then much colder
Life can be short and fleeting, and becoming colder (emotionally) can make it seem even shorter

Fucking perfect but a goddamn disaster
Our relationship may seem perfect to outsiders, but it is actually a disaster behind closed doors

Cautious of my words I gotta keep my shit in order
I have to be careful with what I say and how I act in order to maintain some sense of control in our relationship

Running out the room you're telling me that I'm the problem
You are blaming me for our problems and are even physically leaving the room to avoid confrontation

I'm taking the blame and I ain't never fucking caused it
I am taking responsibility for our problems, even though I am not the one who caused them

Well, that's what I get for sticking with you
I am experiencing these negative consequences for staying in a toxic relationship

Coulda been so clean living life like a dream
Our relationship had the potential to be positive and fulfilling, like a dream

When all I could think about was when I would leave
I was so unhappy in our relationship that all I could think about was leaving

Yeah all I could think about is when I would leave and
The thought of leaving our relationship consumed my thoughts
