lyrics

It's hard to count how many hours
That I sat and waited
Just blowing smoke and staying calm
From all the judging faces

And I knew this was the right place
And I had nothing left to risk
Because in my head
I had shot dead
Any right to exist

And I saw you out there smiling
Making waves with hands and feet
Finally in your element in ways
I always hoped to meet

But we're miles away from home now
And though I wanted to be near
There's a petrifying word that
Just runs circles in my ear

There's a part of me that wanted
To stand up and meet his gaze
Full of anger and bravado and
Put my fist into his face

But I'm so tired of hurting others
In this state of broken health
And in these dying dreams
And whispered cries
I only hurt myself

So I waited for the road to clear
And saw you walk away
Holding hands with someone new who took
My frailed hope away

But it doesn't fucking matter
What I think or who's to blame
Just as long as you're now happy
I can try to find the strength to walk aw
