DNR

I want it back to how it was when we were young
Playing football in the fields all summer long
Homemade posts made of wood got 'em nailed on
Throwing up after meals
Running marathons
Back then we still carried on

I don't wanna start this all again
I've never seen the point in holding grudges
You could spend a lifetime in resent
You don't wanna walk around
Always holding back punches

You said
When it comes time
I don't think I can do this
Blocking my ears
Cos I don't wanna hear
You ticked a DNR
I'm escaping into music
You know you'll have to face your fears someday
I know

When did life get so Goddam difficult?
And why did no one ever warn us in our innocence?
The more you give in life the less you'll take away
Take a step back observe
Save some energy for better days
I'm aware I just kept covering with bandages
Now their all unravelling
I'm showing up wounded
I should've listened
But I can't take tragedies
If there's one thing I've learned
It's never self medicate
Meet head on your agony
If and when it's happening

I don't wanna start this all again
I've never seen the point in holding grudges
You could spend a lifetime in resent
You don't wanna walk around
Always holding back punches

I don't wanna jump to the conclusion
That you could do life better on your own
It's harder than it looks to find atonement
Regrets are better left well alone

You said
When it comes time
I don't think I can do this
Blocking my ears
Cos I don't wanna hear
You ticked a DNR
I'm escaping into music
You know you'll have to face your fears
You said don't worry son
Still don't think I can do this
Made myself numb
And have been ever since
Never said goodbye
Cos I never knew how
And I never will
