I keep waking up to read the same torn piece of paper
The one that I wrote lines on a week ago, still crumpled on my floor
Bitter musings and quotes from sad movies made up so much of that smoke-tainted night
How could it ever feel right?
Chip away the mortar that's holding me together
Feels like treading water with concrete on my feet
I've made decisions to stay this way, shut out everyone around me
I've made decisions to stay this way, and I hope it doesn't kill me
Call it bad luck, or something more intangible that seems to be pulling me under.
Well, it's looking like my words are gonna fall so short again, while I write about the places that I could have been.
If I could just steady these nervous hands
Long enough to follow through with any of my plans
I've made decisions to stay this way, shut out everyone around me
I've made decisions to stay this way, and I hope it doesn't kill me
I can hear you singing, but I don't think you'll ever sing for me.
