Why is it my heart still leaps
Why are these memories
The ones I yearn to keep
When the lights go off
and I'm all alone
Your name is still the one
That chills to the bone
and oh how I wish
I didn't still call this heartache home
I'm done holding on
Done living a lie
But once you've tasted the clouds
you can't forget where you learned to fly.
Breathing for the first time
living in a circle of lies
wasting wished
and all those forgotten tries
You'll never understand
what I found in your eyes
Though I've moved on
and you did long ago
My heart still beatsin my throat
with my head on my pillow
as you sit and you gloat
about how you've hit an all time low
I can't even imagine
the chances you still blow
But when you say words
that give me a glimpse of hope
It's like I'm hanging again by a rope
then you tear it down
spin me around
so I'm left once again
kissing the ground
Baby you're lost
waiting to be found
and I'm still the girl
not making a sound
Just sitting here waiting
for these chains to unbound
The feelings I keep digging
up out of the grave
out of my soul
in the dark
not so brave
Hidden tears and forgotten memories
the smell of the river
amongst the winter breeze
I'll always remember
always be here
cause I'm afraid of letting go
afraid my head'll finally clear
and one day I'll wake up
Ready to Face My Fears.
