Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been standing in the cold
And breathing smoke
And losing sleep
How unoriginal, I'm on the run eternally
[Verse 2]
And I'm an expert at forever goodbyes
It's getting old and I'm getting so tired
[Chorus]
Maybe I can break off the cast
If I move fast, outrun this feeling
Maybe I can paint it all black
Never look back, give me one reason
Why I should stay, stay?
Why I should stay, stay?
[Verse 3]
I'll drown myself in doubt
Until I've lost my sanity
What if I never change
And you're the one that has to bleed?
[PreChorus]
And for the first time
I don't want to wreck this
[Chorus]
Oh, maybe I can break off the cast
If I move fast, outrun this feeling
Maybe I can paint it all black
Never look back, give me one reason
Why I should stay, stay?
Why I should stay?
Why I should stay, stay?
Why I should stay?
[Bridge]
Break off the cast
If I move fast
Paint it all black, never
Look back
[Bridge]
Does it ever cross your mind?
I don't want to run this time
Give me one good reason why
Oh, why?
[Chorus]
Why I should stay, stay?
Why I should stay, stay?
