LYRICS
i'm tired of waking up
with all your brokenness around me
feels like it’s too much to take

trying to drop this grudge
that neither one of us should carry
why can’t you just walk away

you’re the anchor & i’m drowning
deeper and deeper we go

the damage is done
i gave it my best
you got what you came for
now i’m choking on regrets
i’m out of breath

it already hurts
you’re making it worse
why does it feel like you’re just fucking with my head
you’re in my head
the damage is done

i think i’ve had enough
i can’t be what you need me to be
no matter how hard i’ve tried

i’m letting go because
i can’t even remember the feeling
i don’t have the strength to lie

deeper we go
i’m letting go

it’s too late
just move on
you can’t right
all these wrongs
so i’m gone
i can’t fix what you’ve become
the damage is done

Thanks for rocking everyone. Your kind words mean the world to us.

[alphamarcaphi]

not many bands can recover after being established and changing lead singers, but man these guys are nailing it. song

[natalie_rose]

Criminally underrated band.

Also I have to say in the most respectful way possible that IMO this has to be the best line up change in music history for so many reasons. I feel like Torn In Two & There's Nothing Worse Than Too Late put them on an entirely new level & Codys vocals almost feel like they add more diversity to the sound of the band if that makes sense. Like instead of hearing 1 core genre in the EPs I hear multiple genres & I love that.

[felipequezadaespinoza]

Yeahh i agree with all the people, the new singer fits perfect!! No so many Bands Can continue with a new vocalist but here the new one is does very well!

[cameronloveridge]

I wasn’t a Real Friends fan before, but this new singer is changing my mind. These guys are good!

[anthonynieves]

Bro this gets me in the feels. From 1990s with punk, rock and whatever it’s called has held me up. This gets me in the feels bro.

[jasoncozzitorto]

You guys don’t ever miss. Don’t ever stop doing what you do, the world would be worse for it

[Grimreaperful]

Such a good a vocalist, perfect balance of emotion, voice, air, and not too much half scream ❤️ it!

[gloomykasumi]

This and "tell me you're sorry" are 2 of the greatest pop punk bangers I've ever heard in my life. The new real friends is straight heat. Love this new vocalist!!!

[slothhipster]

Ya'll really kept the soul of pop punk alive. Brian is one of the tightest drummers in the genre. Keep up the great work and thank you!

[cjwhaley]

This album is an instant classic, track to track just purely amazing. Great music video for this song too, takes me back to growing up in the 2000s 🤘 keep up the amazing work, RF!

[navoli]

I thought Real Friends can't be Real Friends without Dan 😅😅😅 but this is so SICK 🔥

[Kriszadelich]

How catchy is this maaan, I can't get enough.

[JoeMrozek]

Can't wait to see these guys in Tampa next month, really loving everything Cody has done so far

[TylerBoyDoy]

I still miss Dan. Those first 3 albums were so influential to me personally and Dan's vocals are what made me fall in love with these guys in the first place. I wasn't even going to listen to the new stuff because of that. I was wrong though. The new vocals are great. They hung on to what Dan brought to the table and added a little bit of that extra oomph. Not bad sad boys. Knees aren't as boney as they used to be. After listening to this, I like to think they got just a LITTLE bit bonier.

[nicfaber]

Every single thing that Real Friends is doing now with Cody is nothing but pure gold.

[bigfoot]

Great Song! New Singer does an awesome Job. Great Video too, kept easy but has a lot of energy!

[frenzymaquiling]

I love how they're keeping those similar vibes from Nervous Wreck MV. parked car shot, red lights, etc...

[Harry-bubk]

When he sings for the first time in the chorus - Why does it feel like you're just that, I got goosebumps omg

[arianafigueroa]

La voz de Cody, es todo lo que esta bien en este mundo.. 🥰
