[Intro]
Long gone, the days of summer
In L.A., it stretches longer

[Verse 1]
Fading, waiting
Try to heal, but the pain, it won't go
Start with less, always seems to cost more
Hating, breaking

[Pre-Chorus]
Remember, come December
One day can last forever
Ain't nowhere that's safe for a lowly pretender
I'm shooting straight for the target center

[Chorus]
Maybe you should know
I'm feeling lonely
And I'm tired, oh, yeah
Maybe I should go
Got no desire
To watch the last tear fall
Maybe this will show
I'm reeling, empty, uninspired, oh, yeah
Maybe I don't know you anymore
And I'm smiling, our burden is untied
[Post-Chorus]
Let it die

[Pre-Verse]
I'd be lyin' if I said it felt right
Even though I got a dog in this fight

[Verse 2]
Wounded, losin'
People talk; in and out, their words go
To be the one from where the wind, it does blow
Hounded, surrounded

[Pre-Chorus]
Remember, come December
One life can live forever
Ain't nowhere that's safe for a lowly pretender
I'm shooting straight for the target center

[Chorus]
Maybe you should know
I'm feeling lonely
And I'm tired, oh, yeah
Maybe I should go
Got no desire
To watch the last tear fall
Maybe this will show
I'm reeling, empty, uninspired, oh, yeah
Maybe I don't know you anymore
And I'm smiling, our burden is untied
