INTRO:
i always ask myself why,
why do i feel so alone?
when you and i, float in the same boat
i always wonder,
why's the sky the same everywhere...
but not the people beneath it?
how every second we can be so different from the next and
why the bomb explodes harder when we leave it unbothered
VERSE ONE:
rooftops, good days
school fun, tests aced
'i hope this lasts forever' i said
good talk, smiles fake
you walk, away
rooftops, good days
till you pushed me from the ledge
CHORUS:
neglect turns to nurture
forget turns to favour
an act of affection
i crave for another one
'cause of unkept promises,
and unjust provinces
am i the only one i can trust?
POST-CHORUS:
'cause when you speak about me, i lunge for a great trust fall, (maybe your words will be kind for once)
when you speak to me, it's as if I'm not there at all (i sit in empty tables for lunch)
VERSE TWO:
brushed aside, strong grip
earthbound, earthquakes
birdhunt, flightless
"thanks for, the few good days"
now with the goodbye's in place
i can safely pull away
"goodbye, good day"
"goodbye, good day"
BRIDGE:
i stepped on the stairs, tripped on the last
one friend new, one from the past
balcony talks, new year eve's fog:
do you befriend your demons like me?
paint a picture-perfect scene,
stitch it till it's seamless in your memory?
'cause you can't delete It from your life jammed into a movie
OUTRO:
neglect turns to nurture
forget turns to favour
an act of affection
i crave for another one
cuz of unkept promises,
and unjust provinces
i'm not the only one i can trust?
