Survive
I’m hanging by a thread upon my bloodstained windowpane,
You’re taking your time while I’m waiting in line.
And you say “Sorry” as you thought that might bring me back,
But I’m not a cable car following a fixed track.
But wait –
You yell my name as I fall through the air,
Your pretend words flutter away knowing I don’t care.
(chorus)
I loved you with a flaming rose,
Now it’s dying alone.
I spoke to you with the beating of my heart,
You understood every word at the start.
And now, the pieces are wondering how
I made it out alive.
But then I realized,
Without you, it’s easy to survive.
It’s easy to survive.
(chorus end)
This burden is my shadow,
Following me around, everywhere I go.
Then I crashed into sanity,
And it reminded me of everything I’ll need
To find happiness in this desolate memory.
I’m not going to waste my time
With these thoughts and feelings of mine,
They’re waiting in line as you’re taking your time.
(chorus)
I was a foolish boy in the shallow side of the pool.
Then I drowned in the sorrows of not finding you.
I thought you saved me when you grasped onto my hand,
But you never pulled me back onto dry land.
And there I hung, blood racing to my head.
I thought I found her, but instead
I wasted my time waiting in line.
You thought you were an angel,
And heaven said it must be true,
But heaven doesn’t know you like I do.
