Album: Heroes & Thieves
It's 4 am and im wide awake
waiting for the thoughts to fade
i flick a ring of all of my mistakes
and as the light starts creeping in
i slowly feel
the day im missing
but i wont 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
cos 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 im 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 cant i keep my big mouth shut and do
and 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?
im 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
cos everybody burns
and when it starts to hurt
i cry
i hold my head up high
i know ill be alright, this time.
i feel it in my veins
i just cant walk away this time.
this time
this time
this time
this time
its 4 am and im wide awake
waiting for my thoughts to fade
and its time like these i see your face
