The Coast

Every little heartache, every little mistake
And all the things I wish I never said
When I was wasted, when I was chasing memories
I mostly now forget

I traveled light with songs to sing
I flew all around the world, but couldn't tell you where I've been
It was all the same and it was all a game
But now I don't wanna play

So break my heart
Into a thousand parts
And let them go, bury my ghost
Down on the coast with an ocean view
Go on and break my heart

I know I wasn't perfect, I know that I deserved it
Whеn you finally got fed up with me
Always causing a big scenе, straight out of a movie
Where I literally chase you down the street
Saying, baby, come back, was it really that bad?
Honey, this can't be how it ends
As you're jumping in a car to go do cocaine in a bar
And I hated that there was nothing I could do
A sorry attempt at really loving you
So I guess what I'm trying to say is
Maybe the problem wasn't you

So break my heart
Into a thousand parts
And let them go, bury my ghost
Down on the coast with an ocean view
Go on and break my heart

But remember the good parts
That I still hold like silver and gold
Singing Hallelujah and stumbling home
Go on and break my heart
Go on and break my heart

I would have gone on fighting for the rest of my life
Too anxious to live, but too stubborn to die

Every little heartache, every little mistake
Every crooked step along the way
I've carried them with me, the sharpest memories
But they're getting softer every day
