Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Two step in the cut, sunlight in the cut
Chances are you never saw what made you who you are
So take a bow 'cause it's done, your awful dreams are gone
And scars remain of running away and hiding 'fore they come
[Verse 2]
See you want a place that's still, a place to cure your ills
A place to save your face and keep you calm when you're uphill
You'll never be the best, she'll never turn you on
Ex-scars remain from running away and hiding where you're from
[Verse 3]
Don't use my name, it makes me wonder
Will I ever be enough?
Don't call again, I couldn't answer
My deviation sets it off
[Verse 4]
Choosing what you live for, it's never what you make your life
How could you know if you're squandering your passion for another?
Do you ever think, boy or does it just feel better alone?
Feeling the comfort of sadness in a new set of surroundings?
[Verse 5]
Lose my name, call again
[Verse 6]
Choosing what you live for, it's never what you make your life
How could you know if you're squandering your passion for another?
Do you ever think, boy or does it just feel better alone?
Feeling the comfort of sadness in a new set of surroundings?
[Verse 7]
Choosing what you live for, it's never what you make your life
How could you know if you're squandering your passion for another?
Do you ever think, boy or does it just feel better alone?
Feeling the comfort of sadness in a new set of surroundings?
