lyrics
Don't you find it hard to be so tactful when you smile?
It all looks so innocent, not pre-meditated in its style
Do you find your answers when you fool somebody else?
Or do you just go around breakin' hearts when you feel nothin' in yourself?
Is it a lie that you were told when you were young?
Do you feel as if you're cursed, no idea where it came from?
Or just a matter of circumstance that strung us up this way?
Whether it’s a mistake or destiny, I'm cryin' all the way
But it seems your reaction is as dead as the leaves
But this feelin' ain’t dying and I can't do as I please
You're always stuck in the back of my thoughts and memories
And all I want is to wake up clean
Burnt bridges and broken mirrors... I’m disconnected and I’ve run dry
The feeling of "forever" is settlin' in, all I hear are deafening lies
The melodrama I've fought my whole life seems to creep up and surprise me
It seems as if I've just had misconceptions about when the sun is rising
Clean enough to move, clean enough to prove that I’m not tied to you, babe
Clean enough to see that I should face reality and say goodbye to you, babe
