I called you today
|
Wanting a change
|
I never meant to hurt anyone
|
Never meant for you to pull out your guns
|
But feelings won't stay
|
In this meager parade
|
You're beating to a different drum
|
In this lack of all the luster we've become
|
|
Save your breath
|
You know we've both
|
Tried our best
|
But it's leaving
|
|
This might as well be done
|
I'm falling with the sun
|
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
|
And I'm waving off the one
|
Who wouldn't let me run
|
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
|
I'm untying this sinking stone...
|
|
Don't sit on the fence
|
Living past tense
|
Holding on to wishes and words
|
Folding out a picture we blur
|
Cause here in the end
|
I'm losing a friend
|
Fighting back a tear when it burns
|
Dividing up the pieces that we were
|
|
Save your breath
|
You know we've both
|
Tried our best
|
But it's leaving
|
|
This might as well be done
|
I'm falling with the sun
|
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
|
I'm waving off the one
|
Who wouldn't let me run
|
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
|
I'm untying this sinking stone...
|
|
I can't say you're all alone
|
I'm accepting what I own
|
Here lies a blanket not a bandage
|
|
I'm unable to restrain
|
When the wake that we became
|
Is drawing me under
|
|
This might as well be done
|
I'm falling with the sun
|
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
|
I'm waving off the one
|
Who wouldn't let me run
|
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
|
|
This might as well be done
|
I'm falling with the sun
|
When the hours getting sour won't save with time
|
I'm waving off the one
|
Who wouldn't let me run
|
Though we tried, it's a lie I can't keep dragging on
|
I'm untying this sinking stone...
