lyrics

You used to scream
Just to scream
Now you just fall in line
You always said it’s a shame
The roles we play
But you calculate everything
And we divide

You chose to live your life
A million miles away from mine

And I need this time
To regain my sight
A clean break
To figure out what’s right

Because we’re going nowhere
And this waiting
Is draining me

The simple joys
Come and go
You ask yourself
What do you have left?

Where do you run when you’re out of breath?
I’ve got my words
And no one else

I’ve fallen to my knees
I’m a shell of what I used to be

How can you sleep?
When your dreams are too expensive
To ever want to keep

I’ve given up hope
On the chance that I can sleep
But I’m tossing and turning
Sweating through my sheets
It’s just a mess

There’s this uncertainty
I’m tired of second guessing everything

And I need this time
To regain my sight
A clean break
To figure out what’s right

Because we’re going nowhere
And the waiting
It’s draining me

The simple joys
Come and go
You ask yourself
What do you have left

Where do you run when you’re out of breath?
I’ve got my words
And no one else
