you see it's easy when i'm stomping on a beat but no one sees me when i crawl back underneath
you see it's easy when i'm stomping on a beat but no one sees me when i crawl back underneath
you say my eyes are getting too dark now, but boy, you ain't ever seen my mind
i could follow you to the beginning just to relive the start
and then you just threw it away
screaming, hallelujah
you say my eyes are getting too dark now, but boy, you ain't ever seen my mind
it's getting harder to believe in anything then just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts
candlelight, candlelight, burning till broad daylight
i still try, holding on to silly things, i never learn, oh, why?
and if you could, then you know you would
shoulda, coulda, wouldn't matter, ultimate alibi, you know it's a lie
this is why
and have i told you? i'm not going 'cause i've been waiting for a miracle and i'm not leaving
speak up, dear, 'cause i cannot hear you
your anger, your anchor, but i'll sail much further on, ah-ah, ah-ah, on
please, not this time
now i can't trust myself with anything but this
if ever i get there, it won't be fast enough, i'm a renegade i always was
i gotta keep going, or they'll call me a quitter
cause i burned every bridge i ever built when you were here
it's not the way you plan it, it's how you make it happen
just turn it around
and if you have to go, well, always know that you shine brighter than anyone does
you were my conscience. so solid, now you're like water, and we started drowning, not like we'd sink any farther
well, i'll still say that you shine brighter than anyone
and you're turning it into a joke
you can't down it with your eyes so we don't need the headlines, we don't need the headlines, we just want (we want the airwaves back, we want the airwaves back)
what if i'm just a selfish prick? no regard
and the grass wasn't green enough here after watering it with my tears
can't be too careful anymore when all that is waiting for you
