lyrics

Far away, I still hear you breathing. I wounded you and I started bleeding. I'm not abandoning anyone, and until now you were the only one. You've been ruining me so drawn out and steady. I know that I was never ready. I'm not abandoning anyone, and until now you were the only one. I have to leave. One day things will go back to the way they were always supposed to be. I have to leave. One day things will go back to the way they were always supposed to be.

So when the lights go down in Boston, nothings more familiar than the sound of 4,000 ambulances racing to a football field where I collapsed in the stands after breaking up a fight. I'm not the person you want me to be, it's everyone else's demons that haunt me. I feel all the eyes. Do you feel alive turning those who try to save into villains?

On a wall a hospital bracelet hangs like a badge of tortured remembrance. This is not abandonment. This is just your common sense. I've been ruining you so drawn out and steady. I know that I was never ready. Show me how your fingers twist, when roses bloom between your lips. I have to leave. One day things will go back to the way they were always supposed to be. I have to leave. One day things will go back to the way they were always supposed to be.

So when the lights go down in Boston, nothings more familiar than the sound of 4,000 ambulances racing to a football field where I collapsed in the stands after breaking up a fight. I'm not the person you want me to be, it's everyone else's demons that haunt me. I feel all the eyes. Do you feel alive turning those who try to save into villains?

I don't care about the way your hair falls on your face anymore.
I forgot the way it feels. My conscience says no more.

4,000 ambulances cut across a football field and I swear that I can see are the lights. I'm not the person that I want to be. Everyone else's demons control me. I feel alive. I feel all the eyes. Turning those who try to save into villains.

I don't care about the way your hair falls on your face.
