Lyrics

V1
I always wanted a career
A fancy house with chandeliers
Every year a Christmas card
A girl and boy two years apart

But then the Earth, began to quake
Felt my foundation break
Exposing every crack beneath
My skeletons buried deep

Chorus
Life left me tired, worse then broke
Shook down my walls, laid me low
Turned my dreams into doubt
Broke all the chandeliers in my perfect house

V2
Beneath that sane exterior
Were wilder dreams that I deferred
Outside the lines and far from perfect
Kept decoratin’ on the surface

Pre-Chorus
But then the earth began to quake
Felt my foundation to break
Exposing every crack beneath
My skeletons buried deep

Chorus
Life left me tired, worse than broke
Shook down my walls, laid me low
Turned my dreams into doubt
Broke all the chandeliers in my perfect house

Bridge
Outside these walls, there’s a different way to live
More dangerous, untamed, unhinged
Won't keep away the demons of your past
But you'll live each day like it’s your last

Chorus
Life left me worse then broke
Took down my walls, but there’s still hope
Turned my dreams into doubt
Broke all the chandeliers in the whole damn house
