  • Something about the way that you walked into my living room
    Casually and confident lookin' at the mess I am
    But still you, still you want me
    Stress lines and cigarettes, politics and deficits
    Late bills and overages, screamin' and hollerin'
    But still you, still you want me

    Oh, I always let you down
    You're shattered on the ground
    But still I find you there
    Next to me
    And oh, stupid things I do
    I'm far from good, it's true
    But still I find you
    Next to me (next to me)

    There's something about the way that you always see the pretty view
    Overlook the blooded mess, always lookin' effortless
    And still you, still you want me
    I got no innocence, faith ain't no privilege
    I am a deck of cards, vice or a game of hearts
    And still you, still you want me

    Oh, I always let you down
    You're shattered on the ground
    But still I find you there
    Next to me
    And oh, stupid things I do
    I'm far from good, it's true
    But still I find you
    Next to me

    So thank you for taking a chance on me
    I know it isn't easy
    But I hope to be worth it (oh)
    So thank you for taking a chance on me
    I know it isn't easy
    But I hope to be worth it (oh)

    Oh, I always let you down (I always let you down)
    You're shattered on the ground (shattered on the ground)
    But still I find you there
    Next to me
    And oh, stupid things I do (stupid things I do)
    I'm far from good, it's true
    But still I find you
    Next to me (next to me) Writer/s: Alexander Grant, Ben McKee, Dan Reynolds, Daniel Platzman, Wayne Sermon

  • Migdalia from IlImagine Dragons music, is on point with the realities of life. Real music, Wrecked pulled me in. My sister passed away from cancer, and play this song, when thinking about her. Next to me, another beauty.
