It's 4 a.m. and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade
A flickering of all of my mistakes

And as the light starts creeping in
I slowly feel
The day I'm missing

But I wouldn't even know where to begin

Do I push to hard?

Or fall to fast?
The moment never seems to last
Will I stop long enough to know


Everybody burns
And when it starts to hurt,

I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just can't walk away,

This time

Your words circle in my head

Weigh so heavy on my chest
And I'm crushed by your expectation
I only want to do some good

Too dumb to know if I could
And I just wanna feel the days I'm in


Do I go to far,
Not far enough?
Why can't I keep my big mouth shut?

And do we lead the life that we should?

Everybody burns

And when it starts to hurt,
I cry
I feel it in my veins

I just can't walk away,
This time


Did I say to much again?
I'm just a girl in a panic
If I tell you my truth

Am I getting through?
It just seems I should confess
Who am I to pretend

This is more than I can carry

Everybody burns

And when it starts to hurt,
I cry
I hold my head up high

I know I'll be alright
This time
I feel it in my veins

I just can't walk away
This time
This time,

This time
This time,
This time


It's 4 am and I'm wide awake
Waiting for my thoughts to fade

It's times like these I see your face
