hotel books - i knew better, but did nothing lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m not proud of the things i’ve done
but i’m proud of the person that i can become
’cause somewhere between day one and now
i tried to chase a popular sound
i tried to chase a comfort for those around
but when the show ends
we’re sleeping on hardwood beds
praying to god we find out
if we got the support slot or not
that can make or break our sound in the end
hoping we can move into another market
rather than the one that made us
rather than the one that changed us
so we wanna take a detour and
change behavior and make more
find our faces on the fader and pitchfork
and digress even more

[chorus]
what did you expect from me?
it’s hard to be dishonest
with my heart on my sleeve
where do i go, what can i be?
nothing equals nothing
this did nothing for me

[verse 2]
we just hoped our rebellion would look like rebellion
rather than what it is: a target for millennials to put their faith in
but i’m proud to say we made some people
look into themselves rather than the evil
and i’ll always thank the ones who trusted me
enough to join me on this journey
even the ones who didn’t stick around
i’m still grateful for the ones who helped shape the sound
now i just need to thank god for this forgiveness

[chorus]
what did you expect from me?
it’s hard to be dishonest
with my heart on my sleeve
where do i go, what can i be?
nothing equals nothing
this did nothing for me

[outro]
now i can thank god for the idea of forgiveness
and i can thank god that i’m still in this
’cause i love the idea of a future
’cause though it never comes, it’s somehow always happening
and every moment that i’m not asleep is a moment where i think
maybe i should’ve just finished it up and gotten that degree
’cause, mom, i made it
i just wish i would have learned something
’cause now this emptiness haunts me
