Stay up half the night from the stings of waking life
You hadn’t known just how hard it would be, and do you really have to change completely?
And it’s often nights like these where you hide under your sheets with racing thoughts
And you don’t want to talk, I wouldn’t understand at all and I’m sorry
I don’t want to assume how it feels to be so far
Forgoing how you were and now what you are
(Away from yourself, I might not be waiting for you)
With the way that it went
How you thought such bad thoughts, well it consumed me
Are you trying to fool everybody in the room by being so nice?
I don’t want to assume how it feels to be so far
(Away from yourself, revisions of you)
Forgoing how you were and now what you are
(Away from yourself, turning back into what you knew)
Becoming what it is and leaving how it was
(Away from yourself, I might not be waiting for you)
