Heartist - The Answer Lyrics

She spins a tale of love so bittersweet that it stains my lips.
Wonder how you got so lonely with a grace so poisonous.
But she melts away in the light.

I could never stay away,
But I could sure fucking try.
I don't deserve this,
I'm lost looking for purpose.
No, I'm not worthless.
I'm just looking for answers.
You're not the answer

This is not what I want,
I just keep running away from the pain.
I swear, I swear, I'll never make it out of here.
The answer stays the same.
She's misery, but when she leaves I find I'm wondering.
How many times have I tried?
Why can't I just get this right?
She slips away from me again

Force me away,
Force me to hide my heart when I'd give anything to lie with you.
This is not what I want,
I just keep running away from the pain.
I swear, I swear, I'll never make it out of here.
The answer stays the same.
There's something growing inside me
My heart's not yours to break.
I've let you go.
I found the answer was hiding inside me.
Don't fucking judge me.
I command respect
Who would've thought my life could fall right in front of me?
I watched you burn out of reality.
You found me trivial, I found you a tragedy.

The night you burned,
I found what's left of me.
(I found what's left of me)
(This is not) what I want,
I just keep running away from the pain.
I swear, I swear, I'll never make it out of here.
The answer stays the same.
I swear, I swear, I'm just looking for answers, you're not the answer.
I swear, I swear, I found the answer, you're not the answer!
It's not something I could wish upon myself.
