Ritual (Live at Brixton Academy)

[Verse 1]
I left you alone by the roadside
I should've noticed it was all pride
That kept me from seeing you're a lost soul who's sinking deeper
Maybe the darkness took hold of me, oh
Maybe I'm just scared of reality
To tell you the truth I've never felt so lost
I'm getting weaker, slipping deeper

[Chorus]
And I never said I'd be the one, so I'm letting you go
Yeah, I'm letting you go
And I never said I'm holding on, so I'm letting you go
'Cause it's better to know
Lately this is nothing more than a ritual between me and you
Because I never said I'm holding on, so I'm letting you go
Yeah, I'm letting you go

[Verse 2]
And we spoke about no sleep and life in our heads
But all I could see was your bed
And somehow it left me feeling alone
But it's not just my fault
You keep pulling me in when you know that I'm hazy alone
And my head's fucked, like a drunk I fall hard at your feet
And it's hard to believe, I believe every word that you wrote

[Chorus]
And I never said I'd be the one, so I'm letting you go
Yeah, I'm letting you go
And I never said I'm holding on, so I'm letting you go
'Cause it's better to know
Lately this is nothing more than a ritual between me and you
Because I never said I'm holding on, so I'm letting you go

[Bridge]
And I said something stupid like
"Fill my veins with poison, I'm so tired of all the noise"
'Cause if I go, I'll go out now with silent grace and poise
'Cause I'm always broke and I'm almost broken

[Chorus]
And I never said I'd be the one, so I'm letting you go
Yeah, I'm letting you go
And I never said I'm holding on, so I'm letting you go
'Cause it's better to know
Lately this is nothing more than a ritual between me and you
Because I never said I'm holding on, so I'm letting you go
