lyrics

I’m waking up to this new day but it’s colder. I’ve got these battle scars up and down my arms; I need this weight off of my shoulders. And with a sigh of relief I can finally sleep at least for one more night now that she’s out of my dreams. Still I feel no remorse; they say it’s normal of course. When your heart’s broke in two and your tears stain the floor. Everything we’ve hoped for, everything we’ve dreamed will crash straight down before your eyes; you’ll never get to see a way to the solution to avoid catastrophe, so I’ll write myself off and I’ll sing to this song in hopes that you will leave. Now if memory serves, you completely deserve every bit of the angst that you thought you had heard; So I’ll take my revenge as our sad story ends, I’ll turn my back on you just like the rest of your friends. Everything we’ve hoped for, everything we’ve dreamed will crash straight down before your eyes; you’ll never get to see a way to the solution to avoid catastrophe, so I’ll write myself off and I’ll sing to this song in hopes that you will leave. Now I’m sorry to say that it ended this way. We’re not the only ones that have been here today although I’m not innocent I know it’s hard to admit all the things that we did were worthless in the end. Everything we’ve hoped for, everything we’ve dreamed will crash straight down before your eyes, you’ll never get to see a way to the solution to avoid catastrophe, so I’ll write myself off and I’ll sing to this song in hopes that you will leave. (I’m waking up to this new day but it’s colder. I’ve got these battle scars up and down my arms; I’ve let this weight fall off my shoulders)
