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
