Waves

(album: Meet Me Halfway, At Least - 2009)

Coming of age, after you blacked out my eyes
I have no light in the house of day
it's far too much to take after it's come to this
I can't just turn back the page anymore
I can't just turn back the page anymore

and after everything that I have fought
and tried and died not to be caught
I've never felt so alone
just because you don't know, you're not letting go

but you still stop the beat in my chest
and it's something that I could have guessed
but you still stop the beat in my chest
and I'll be more than happy to take the rest

no longer will I see myself this way
there is no light in this house of day
I feel the sun, but I can't find the warmth
I belong on the other side of this town
where I can feel loved, away from you
I have conscious, but I'll see this night through
by morning I'll have to never see you again
just because you don't know, you're not letting go

but you still stop the beat in my chest
and it's something that I could have guessed
but you still stop the beat in my chest
and I'll be more than happy to take the rest

as I climb my way back up your nails
as they clasp on to your dying finger
and I'll come away, from everything
with your name on my arm like a trophy

just because you don't know, you're not letting go

you're not letting go
and after all this guilt
