Lyric

The more they’re right, the words stay tight

Catching in the back of my throat tonight

I end up saying nothing at all

As the shadows start to fall

I know it’s easier to live without hope

Knowing there’s no more room to cope

Yet I find myself, without a sound

Expecting a tomorrow I haven't found

I’ve gotten good at the hollow play

Faking a smile for another’s "big day"

While my own truth was left behind

In a place I can no longer find

They say to give up is to grow up, it’s true

Is that what a grown-up is meant to do?

But there’s something here I couldn’t throw

Still remaining, with nowhere to go

I have no reason to raise my voice

But I’m not okay enough to have no choice

I’m stuck in the silence, in between

In a place that’s better left unseen

I’m not searching for a reason to exist

I just don’t know the way to call it quits

To keep from breaking, I hold nothing in my hand

But the weight in my chest is more than I can stand

Yeah, it’s more than I can stand

Being kind was called being weak

Still, I couldn’t find the change I seek

Even if this path was a wrong design

If this is me, I’ll stay on the line

I’ve forgotten how to fix what’s mine

Standing off-center, away from the right

Just standing here, in the dimming light

I’m not searching for a reason to exist

I just don’t know the way to call it quits

Even if nothing changes, I just wanted to say

It’s enough if I can make it through the day

(Just make it through the day...)

Feelings that couldn’t become a sound

Rotting away on the hollow ground

So I turn them to words and I let them fly

A song that’s a breath, a song that’s a sigh

Whether tomorrow comes or stays away

This emotion is here, and it’s here to stay
