Drift Away

(album: Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum - 2020)

Don't let anyone cry on your shoulder
Don't let misery bring you down
Beauty fades away as you get older
Such a shame that you hate yourself

When I saw the feelings go to waste
But it all comes as no surprise
And I feel I let it slip away
Left so hollow and dead inside
And I realize I was too afraid
So much wasted time
I feel you drift away

On the surface it seems like I'm colder
Underneath it all I'm not fine
You do well in the eyes of beholders
But I feel ugly as sin inside

When I saw the feelings go to waste
But it all comes as no surprise
And I feel I let it slip away
Left so hollow and dead inside
And I realize I was too afraid
So much wasted time
I feel you drift away

Oooh
Oooh
Oooh

Who are you to let me bleed
Who are you to set me free
Who are you to let me bleed
Who are you to set me free

When I saw the feelings go to waste
But it all comes as no surprise
And I feel I let it slip away
Left so hollow and dead inside
And I realize I was too afraid
So much wasted time
I feel you drift away
