I don't wanna try if I know that it's not gonna work
Given the examples from my past I don't want to set myself up to get hurt
I don't want to wait outside while the rain keeps pouring out my eyes
I'm digging my own grave with every word that I say
And I feel like I wanna die
But I don't wanna die
I want to feel alive
I just want everyone I love, not to hate me
Even if it's paranoid
Or if it's justified
I don't want to feel like I'm being
Vilified
I won't be surprised not to hear your voice when I call
The automated greeting doesn't sound like you at all
Even when we talk face to face it's not the same
We both fear that we've grown apart
It's hard to stay away but it's harder to change the way that we view our lives
But just because we had a good day, it won't show
For all the times that I had to wait out all the pain in the cold
I'm reluctant to invest in what they've all been sold
But I'm worried that I'll miss out on the fun
But want will I become?
If these constructs come undone
Will these wings I've grown fly me into the sun?
I don't wanna try if I know that it's not gonna work
Given the examples from my past I don't wanna set myself up to get hurt
I'm not gonna be here long if I don't change soon
I'm not gonna sing another word to this empty room
