There's no place left to hide
And I'm afraid of what's on the other side
Of this door and that one, too
All these doors lead to nowhere and im tired of running
I hope I'll remember you. . .
But my memory is getting worse these days
And I pray so hard I won't forget your voice or your face
I cant promise I'll see you again but God damn will I want to
There's so much room for growing in
what feels an awful lot like loneliness
But the growing pains are getting hard to bare
and I've worn down my teeth from keeping my mouth shut
I'm so close to giving up, not on everything, but on this in particular
Hopefully there's a next time where I manage to get things right from the start
Like a house in a hurricane there's boards held fast protecting what once was my heart
It's still beating there
Maybe being ok is ok even when I shouldn't
I didnt mean to leave you behind while I chased after myself
I couldn't slow down until I caught up
and there's no room for mistaking it as anything other than what it was
A reckoning, dead and lonely but still living.
Pray I find more room for forgiving you for both our sakes
It's not like I meant to.
Everybody dies but not everybody lives
Everybody takes but not Everybody gives
Everybody dies but not everybody lives
Everybody takes but not Everybody gives
I hope I'll remember you. . .
But my memory is getting worse these days
And I pray so hard I won't forget your voice or your face
I cant promise I'll see you again but God damn will I want to
