Peregrine Sagittarius A
[Verse 1]
This is not the way I wanted to be
Lookin' back over nothing at all
Instead of the time well spent, regret
Fills my memory vault
Not the place I wanted to be
When I realized everything was wrong
Considering wasted time on the side porch
Or when December called
[Interlude]
When you called
When you called
When you called, should've never answered
[Verse 2]
This is not the way I wanted to be
Nostalgic for nothing at all
Dreaming of time well spent, hope's shadowed
By regret's unclenching jaw
Not the way I wanted to tell you
Not who I thought I would be
Oh, that fort is shaky at best
And all because of
[Pre-Chorus]
The time spent
Giving shortcomings
Gonna be great
[Chorus]
The time spent
For giving shortcomings
Help me to accept this pain
That this pain is comforting
[Post-Chorus]
A sick, sad heart
A sick, sad heart
[Verse 3]
This is not the way I wanted to tell you
We were not meant to be
No matter how many times you tried to map the equation
It doesn't include me
[Chorus]
Time spent
For giving shortcomings
Help me to accept this pain
That this pain is comforting
[Bridge 1]
We think we can be something [brilliant?]
[Hopelessly?] [better alone?]
It's gonna be like, I swear, it's gonna be like, I swear, it's gonna be
It's gonna be
[Bridge 2]
No eyes can see the way
If they're not uncovered
Devotion makes us whole
You couldn't hold me
No, you couldn't hold me!
No, you couldn't hold me!
[Outro]
This is not the way I wanted to be
