Lyrics
[Verse 1] Oh, that curb was yours for the moment Alone, looking back at growing up And the choices that led you here The attention brings quite the excitement But commotion will come to peace And all you'll find left is fear We had your back

[Chorus] Ooh, your mistake was giving up on yourself And now, here you will stay for your crimes committed You will receive everything

[Verse 2] The words on the screen read "indicted" The picture's a broken scene How tough love feels, it's what you need All these removed and reminded Of a time when this wasn't me And we were still the best of friends I hope you'll be okay

[Chorus] But your big mistake was giving up on everyone And now, here you will stay for your crimes committed You will receive everything

A new world inside, where cold walls feel comfortable Where straight lines don't curve And oh, in the time you're gone, your cell's forgotten Remember this: you are missed

[Bridge] We gave our strength, and now we have no choice The bird's flown the coop and broke his singing voice We can't wait for you to change, we tried So, until that day Goodbye

[Verse 3] The time on the bus will remind you Of what you had and how you lost it all But you can't say it wasn't your fault

[Chorus] Cause your big mistake was giving up on everyone And now here you will stay for your crimes committed You will receive everything

A new world in sight, where cold walls feel comfortable Where straight lines don't curve In the time you're gone, your song forgotten Remember this: you are missed You are missed
