You should have always known
That our city’s getting older
It’s getting heavy now, with the snow
Patted cleanly on your shoulder
But she’s shaking again
She got high again
Realized she can’t save her friends
Sometimes you can’t save everybody
Say it again
I’m breathing again
Sometimes you can’t save your friends
Sometimes you can’t save anybody
And I should have let you go
I should have told you when we were younger
The seeds are planted, and now they’re sewn
Everybody’s got the hunger
But she’s shaking again
She got high again
Realized she can’t save her friends
Sometimes you can’t save everybody
Say it again
I’m breathing again
Sometimes you can’t save your friends
Sometimes you can’t save any
But she’s shaking again
She got high again
Realized you can’t save your friends
Sometimes you can’t save everybody
Say it again
I’m breathing again
Sometimes you can’t save your friends
Sometimes you don’t save anybody
