[Verse 1]
It's my bitter pill, I don't know what is real
(The thrill of the chase) Is numb
I don't know how to love, never been good enough
(I just want the taste) Of it
I've been lying to myself
I wish that somebody could...

[Chorus]
Tell me why the highs always feel so low
I only feel alive when I lose control
We built this fire, now it's up in smoke
Tell me why the highs always feel so low
They feel so low

[Verse 2]
I think the games I play are slowing killing me
How much more can I take?
(How much more can I take?)
I'm drowning in the cut, it isn't in my blood
Can somebody (Somebody), can somebody...

[Chorus]
Tell me why the highs always feel so low
I only feel alive when I lose control
We built this fire, now it's up in smoke
Tell me why the highs always feel so low
They feel so low

[Breakdown: Mike Hranica]
Set to a panic
I'm caught wanting more
Thought that I had it
Like spinning before the fall
Before the fall

[Chorus]
Tell me why the highs always feel so low
I only feel alive when I lose control
We built this fire, now it's up in smoke
Tell me why the highs always feel so low

[Outro]
They feel so low
They feel so low
