Real Friends Anchor Down lyrics

I don't really think
That I'm ready
For another Chicago winter
So you can stop making my bones feel cold

I swear
That emptiness lives
Inside your chest
You're the reason you fell far away from what brought out your best

Don't get me wrong
I wish a lot of things were the way they used to be
The streets that used to make me feel alive
Just make me feel alone
The holes in the wall get bigger every year

It's hard to think that some people in this world
Look at me with the same eyes as yours
I've been breaking all ten fingers for you
And you wouldn't even lift one up for me
Appreciation is something you lost
In the dirt that's on your hands and knees

But I'm never gonna be
Just a hole in the wall
And you can anchor down your feet and say

"Fuck the past and everyone that dragged you here"

I'm not putting myself on a pedestal
You need to stand up for yourself
And who you claim you used to be

It's hard to think that some people in this world
Look at me with the same eyes as yours
I've been breaking all ten fingers for you
And you wouldn't even lift one up for me
Appreciation is something you lost
In the dirt that's on your hands and knees

Anchor down your feet and say
"Fuck the past and everyone that dragged you here"
Just stand up for yourself and who you claim you used to be

It's hard to think that some people in this world
Look at me with the same eyes as yours
I've been breaking all ten fingers for you
And you wouldn't even lift one up for me
Appreciation is something you lost
In the dirt that's on your hands and knees
