In A Hole
Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band Lyrics

So you tell me that you're sorry and I know
You say you're sorry, but I can see through your words

But are you really sorry if you go
If you leave, does that mean your apology wasn't genuine?

Hold me farther if it's easier than close
You're keeping your distance because it's easier than being intimate

Go cause we grow apart each time that we grow
Every time we grow individually, we drift further apart

How bad do you want me out the know
You're trying to keep me in the dark, how much do you really want me to be unaware?

You hold me far you hold your enemies close
You keep your enemies closer than you keep me, holding me at a distance

Said 'I got heart eyes you want real attention'
You claim to have fallen for me, while I just want genuine affection

You and your sweet talk I want real affection
I want more than just your empty compliments and sweet words

Feed me your lines
You keep feeding me empty promises and false assurances

I'll feed you mine
In return, I'll give you my own empty promises and false assurances

I've run out of patience I waited till you needed me too
I've lost my patience waiting for you to realize you need me as well

I've run out of pavement I'm trying hard to catch up to you
I've exhausted all my efforts trying to keep up with you

But all I've got are holes in my shoes
Despite my efforts, all I have are empty spaces and unfulfilled hopes

Cold I pull my hands inside of your coat
Seeking warmth, I try to find solace in your presence

But all that's left of you's the cigarette smoke
You've vanished, leaving behind only the lingering traces of your presence

Now my body's just a place for your ghost
I've become nothing more than a vessel for your memory

I ran out of patience
I've reached the point where I can no longer wait

I chase the feeling
I pursue the fleeting emotions and experiences

Cause I couldn't make the chase feel new
Because I couldn't recreate the excitement of the pursuit
