I see the lines that connect me to you.
|
I see the lines that divide us into groups.
|
I know the ways that we'll stay the same.
|
And I know the ways we'll pretend that we can change.
|
|
I see the lines on your face.
|
I know that there's a toll this takes on you.
|
I don't want to be the one who breaks you or weighs you down.
|
|
I want to tell you that I'm alright.
|
I might slow down or sigh sometimes.
|
I'm just shaking it off.
|
I'm just telling myself not to let go.
|
|
I'll stare out at rooms that used to be full.
|
I'll weather storms and sleepwalk through the lulls.
|
I'll close my eyes and do what needs to be done,
|
I'll shut my mouth and just try and have some fun.
|
|
It's not a question of what anyone deserves.
|
I don't know what you've seen or what you've heard.
|
I've never had any reason to believe
|
That we get what we want or even what we need.
|
|
But I'm alright.
|
I might slow down or sigh sometimes.
|
I'm just shaking it off.
|
I'm just telling myself not to let go.
|
|
I want to tell you that I'm alright.
|
I might slow down or sigh sometimes.
|
I'm just shaking it off.
|
I'm just telling myself not to let go.
|
Not to let go.
|
|
I'll be holding on.
|
I'll be holding on.
|
|
I'm alright.
|
I might slow down or sigh sometimes.
|
I'm just shaking it off.
|
I'm just telling myself not to let go.
