It's 4 a.m. and I'm wide awake
|
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
|
A flickering of all of my mistakes
|
And as the light starts creeping in
|
I slowly feel
|
The day I'm missing
|
But I wouldn't even know where to begin
|
|
Do I push to hard?
|
Or fall to fast?
|
The moment never seems to last
|
Will I stop long enough to know
|
|
Everybody burns
|
And when it starts to hurt,
|
I cry
|
I feel it in my veins
|
I just can't walk away,
|
This time
|
|
Your words circle in my head
|
Weigh so heavy on my chest
|
And I'm crushed by your expectation
|
I only want to do some good
|
Too dumb to know if I could
|
And I just wanna feel the days I'm in
|
|
Do I go to far,
|
Not far enough?
|
Why can't I keep my big mouth shut?
|
And do we lead the life that we should?
|
|
Everybody burns
|
And when it starts to hurt,
|
I cry
|
I feel it in my veins
|
I just can't walk away,
|
This time
|
|
Did I say to much again?
|
I'm just a girl in a panic
|
If I tell you my truth
|
Am I getting through?
|
It just seems I should confess
|
Who am I to pretend
|
This is more than I can carry
|
|
Everybody burns
|
And when it starts to hurt,
|
I cry
|
I hold my head up high
|
I know I'll be alright
|
This time
|
I feel it in my veins
|
I just can't walk away
|
This time
|
This time,
|
This time
|
This time,
|
This time
|
|
It's 4 am and I'm wide awake
|
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
|
It's times like these I see your face
|
