lyrics

It was a rainy day when it started to begin
The lights were shot out
and the streets had grown dim
I heard you somewhere in the back of my mind
Caught up on the moments
You made me feel alive

Cause you're only good to me
When we're making up
After a night of
All the wrong stuff
And you're only there for me
When the timings right
You fair-weather friends
You break me every time

I always learn the hard way always put up a fight
My guardians come around to help me see the light
Learn to put down the bottle and search for peace of mind
Forgive not forget until the day that we die

Cause you're only good to me
When we're making up
After a night of
All the wrong stuff
And you're only there for me
When the timings right
You fair-weather friends
You break me every time

Caught me searching through memories
For the meaning of life
Broken and busted the fabric of our times
Pushin through hard thoughts
And fighting the fear
Screaming for order in a court that holds the years

Cause you're only good to me
When we're making up
After a night of
All the wrong stuff
And you're only there for me
When the timings right
You fair-weather friends
You break me every time

You break me every time
You break me every time
you break me every time
