So many paths to choose
For this past to lose...

So many lies to paint
For this pain to escape
So many lips to touch
For the silence to spread enough

And I couldn't receive
The hands that you held out for me

So many lives to bleed...

Too many names to call
For this spiral to stall
Too many stones to throw
Before the weakness begins to show...

And I just can't pretend
That there is a hope to defend

Too many dreams to shed...

Don't leave your guard down here
And don't ask me to be near
'Cuz I will break your heart
So please stay far
