La Peace

LA PEACE Yeah… I think we both know where this is going Shit ain’t what it used to be But I still got one thing to ask… We don’t talk like we used to, conversations feel forced You say “I’m fine,” but I know that’s bullshit, of course I can feel you pulling back every time that I get close And I’m holding onto memories like that’s all I got left Used to be your favorite, now I’m barely on your mind Used to say forever, now we’re running out of time I could blame you, you could blame me, hell, we both crossed lines But what’s the fucking point when neither one of us is right? I don’t wanna fight, I just wanna understand How the hell we went from lovers to two people making plans For separate lives, separate beds, separate futures Still got your picture on my phone, like a damn loser I know we’re running out of time I know you’re losing faith If loving you was my war Then let your goodbye be my— I know things have changed Your always acting upset My baby all deranged Calm down before the sunset A few more memories with you please Lord knows I’m not done yet Your too damn lovely, not very easy Stonger than a war vet Can your bullet be my La Peace Fuck, I remember when you couldn’t sleep without me Now you sleep just fine like you don’t even think about me I ain’t mad, baby, that’s just how this shit goes Sometimes you love somebody and still gotta let ’em go We had some beautiful moments mixed with terrible nights Some “fuck you” arguments, some “don’t leave” goodbyes Some kisses in the kitchen, some tears in the car We were trying to fix each other while we both fell apart Maybe we weren’t forever Maybe we were just a lesson Maybe losing you is painful But it’s teaching me acceptance So I won’t beg you to stay If your heart already left I’ll just cherish what we had And put the rest to bed ’Cause sometimes saying “I love you” Means knowing when to leave And sometimes the hardest fucking thing Is giving somebody peace I know we’re running out of time I know you’re losing faith If loving you was my war Then let your goodbye be my— I know things have changed Your always acting upset My baby all deranged Calm down before the sunset A few more memories with you please Lord knows I’m not done yet Your too damn lovely, not very easy Stronger than a war vet Can your bullet be my La Peace Can your bullet be my La Peace? One last shot right through my chest If this is really where it ends Then fuck it, I gave my best No more chasing, no more begging No more asking you to stay I’ll love you from a distance While I learn to be okay La Peace…
