lyrics

Judging by your apathy
And how you don’t remember me
I think we’ve got a problem here
When you’ve been to Hell and back
You know just how to take the heat
But now it’s burning me alive

And God, if you’re watching
Please cover your eyes

See it in the present tense
And know until it all makes sense
Pull me up, don’t let me drown
All alone, I’m feeling all alone
But I'm still relieved to feel the wind at my back

And now for this moment
I’ll cover my eyes

Look down from the clouds
Look down to the ground
And you’ll see me crawling
Back from the life
Where I sink to be safe and it’s in the margin now
I can hold my head up high
It’s a target but I call it life well spent

We could’ve had it all
But maybe that was just too much to ask
It takes more than one to want it
Your problem with rejection
Doesn’t mix with my affection
And it’s clear now we weren’t built to last

But now in this moment
Just cover your eyes

Look down from the clouds
Look down to the ground
And you’ll see me crawling
Back from the life
Where I sink to be safe and it’s in the margin now
I can hold my head up high
It’s a target but I call it life well spent
