Lyric

Eyes shoot awake

And there’s the ache

Never wasting any time

On dragging down this heart of mine

I’m more than aware (More than aware)

That nothing I do will ever make this change

I couldn’t even look your wife in the face

Did I even know you at all? What the hell was I supposed to say?

It’s ironic, wishing, begging for all this extra time

When that’s all that I’ve got anymore

Welcome to my life

I stepped into the sunlight and fell, hitting the ground face-first

And I can’t bring myself to believe in the power of the American Dream anymore

I’ve tried to put this pen to paper many times before

But the words won't come, and you’re still gone

So again I'll sit in silence alone

I’ve been tossing and turning around in my bed

These thoughts of you on repeat in my head

'Cause I promised that I’d help you heal, but instead

I sat there watching you sell all your shit

How many fucking people will be taken from me?

I'm reminded of your absence constantly

With every passing face I think of what we would've been

What am I supposed to do with these feelings?

I stepped into the sunlight and fell, hitting the ground face-first

And I can’t bring myself to believe in the power of the American Dream anymore

I’ve tried to put this pen to paper many times before

But the words won't come, and you’re still gone

So again I'll sit in silence alone

On my own

I should've done something

'Cause I knew that you were hurting

I even knew what to look for

And I still did nothing

They tell me not to turn back time

“This hierarchy bullshit won't get you peace of mind.”

But you once told me that love is never safe

That’s all that’s running through my head

In the gently falling rain

And if I’m wrong, and Heaven awaits

I hope you'll play that Neck Deep song for me
