lyrics

Now’s about the time it starts to crumble
Lying on thin ice about to crack
Tiptoeing our way around the rubble
Promise me you’re never going back

I don’t wanna be your broken shelter
While you wait for all the storms to blow away
Are you gonna come out with the sun, coming up
Or leave me here drowning in the rain?

You retract the second things get harder
Answered all the unknowns in your head
Where’s it gonna get you in the long run?
You know the ending; what’s left to be said?

Opening the closet with your arms up
Ready for the tumbling avalanche
Are you going to emerge with some dignity
Or let yourself be buried without a chance?

Who’s battle are you fighting?
What’s it gonna take for you to change?
I am getting tired of cleaning up after your mess
I am not the owner of your pain
