lyrics

I always knew, I just didn’t want to say
If it’s a dream that I’m trying to keep alive,
I wish I could awake
I wish I didn’t feel it,
But it’s give and take,
All of the ‘could have been’ good things
That time took away
Don’t be so hard on yourself

What would it mean, if I put it all aside
Never settle for nothing ‘cause something’s
Just too hard to find
I threw out all the jealousy, it was heavy anyway
If I can’t have always, I don’t want it to stay
You can change your voice, change your style
Be who you want to be for a little while
But don’t be too hard on yourself

Here I go leaving,
Nearsighted dreaming

I’ve had a hard time finding who I’m supposed to be
Wasting time looking for a rhyme or a reason to believe
Oh, I need to take a moment,
Reassess and realign, it all comes at a price
One that I won’t pay,
I always knew, I just didn’t want to say
