alex lepping - magnum opus lyrics

[verse 1]
the only constants at this point are change
and me trying to convince myself it’s the same
i’m tired of playing this game
’cause you up and left and now i’m filled with shame

[pre+chorus]
you could ride a bike, or fly a kite, you’ll finally be free
and i’ll still be sitting here desperately
i could play pretend, fake a friend, grab a bite to eat
but it’s not the same without you here with me

[chorus]
the second i put my all into something
it all breaks apart and falls into nothing
i’m shaking i’m screaming i’m running
but there’s no hiding from what’s coming
’cause you always noticed, and i didn’t know it now
this was my magnum opus, but it’s all just hopeless now

[break]
(my magnum opus now) gotta lock in

[verse 2]
this was my masterpiece, now it’s just passing me by
i can’t stop thinking, the only thing stuck in my mind
as much as i hate to admit that it’s true (it’s true)
the only thing i ever cared about was you (it was you)
and now that the time has come for you to leave (you should leave)
i can’t help but wonder what happens to me
[pre+chorus]
you’ll explore the earth, nothing hurts, you’re finally free
your life will be so much better without me
you’ll do great on your own, i know that it’s true
but to be honest i’m nothing without you

[chorus]
i’m laying on the floor in yesterday’s clothes
thinking about the things i’m not supposed
and i don’t know how i’m gonna make it alone
’cause i don’t do well when i’m all on my own
i’m laying on the floor with my guitar in my arms
wishing that it was you now that you’re gone
if i could just take back the things i did wrong
or even remember how to write a song
it’s been so long, thought i would get better
it’s been so long, i’ll never get better (better)
’cause you always noticed, and i didn’t know it now
this was my magnum opus, but it’s all just hopeless now (now now now)

{bridge]
it’s like i went on stage thinking y’all wanted more
but no one in the crowd wanted an encore
now i’m stuck on stage with no song to play
i just came up here to make things okay
trapped in the light, i’ll crawl my way back home
to my lonely bas+m+nt and my microphone (microphone)
i’ll pour out my heart into these stupid lyrics
but i can’t do this anymore, i can’t hear it
[chorus]
i’m laying on the floor in yesterday’s clothes
thinking about the things i’m not supposed
and i don’t know how i’m gonna make it alone
’cause i don’t do well when i’m all on my own
i’m laying on the floor with my guitar in my arms
wishing that it was you now that you’re gone
if i could just take back the things i did wrong
or even remember how to write a song
it’s been so long, thought i would get better
it’s been so long, i’ll never get better
’cause you always noticed, and i didn’t know it now
this was my magnum opus, but it’s all just hopeless now
