It's  4 am 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  won't even  know where to begin
 do I push  too hard
 I fall  too fast
 a moment  never seems  to last
 and will  I stop long  enough to know
'cause  everybody burns
 and when it starts to  hurt, I cry
I  feel it in my veins
 I just cant walk  away, this  time.
your  words circle in  my head
 and weigh  so heavy on my chest
 and I'm  crushed by  your expectation
I  only want to  do some good
 to dumb  to know if i could
 and i  just wanna feel  the days I'm  in
 and do I go  too far
 not far  enough
 why can't  I keep my big  mouth shut
 and do  we lead the life  that we should
 and everybody burns
 and when it starts to  hurt, I cry
 I feel it in my veins
 I just cant walk away,  this time.
did  I say  too much again?
 I'm just a girl  in a panic
 if I tell  you my truth
 am  I getting through?
 and  it just seems  I should confess
 who am I  to pretend?
this  is more  than I  can carry
 'cause 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 cant walk away  this time.
 x2
 this time
 this time
 this time
 this time
it's  4 am and im wide  awake
waiting  for my thoughts  to fade
 and it's  time like these  I see your face
