lyrics

I'm under the gun to make decisions and it happens constantly
I wonder if people around me will offer more than voices deafening me
I’m so sick of living this way
And I don't really mind if they seem unscathed
I'm not afraid of what they hide.

I look closer, it’s sad and awful
I have nowhere to run, I'll face the sun
Because I feel my skin burning even in the dark
The pain remains so close.

I would like to know how to act
When I feel the sunlight scratching my eyelids
Maybe it's just telling me that I shouldn't aim so high
My expectations are repelling who I love
When I need you the most
I find myself alone...

This is not the time for you to hear me
I don't wanna be the one who brings the bad news
It used to shine so bright, but it's fading
And the windows of my soul are closed and blurred
It's so hard to find reassurance when I'm hopeless.

I would like to know how to act
When I feel the sunlight scratching my eyelids
Maybe it's just telling me that I shouldn't aim so high
My expectations are repelling who I love
When I need you the most
I find myself alone...

What if you are not here in the end?
