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
