Tonight I, can't say I'm surprised
I'm cashing in all my bad luck to shy away from prying eyes
So let's turn the page on this chapter of my life
As the cracks fall into place
What a mess I made...
Time to trade it all in for another chance to shatter dreams and sweep them under the rug
There's no way back from here
Taking secrets to the grave seems to make perception so much clearer
And with a heavy heart stitched into my sleeve
I'll tie my hope to black balloons and drift wherever they carry me
Tonight I, much to your surprise
I'm not helplessly hurting
I'm breathless in bed
It's not so much expected
More often neglected
How easy it is to waltz in and steal a breath
So cut me a break
I'm not ready to change but I can't do this alone
As these four walls close in on me
The tension mounts and I can't breathe
I'm low on fuel in more ways than one
As I fight back tears and I bite my tongue
