Lyrics
Once upon a time, I thought the world was ending
Each day a little color faded from my sky
I painted gray, on everything they gave me
And kept it all together in a monument of lies
But now I know, not everything's worth keeping
Some things you just have to throw away.
Every time you're cut you can't just go on bleeding
Someday you're gonna need to put your knives away
How long has it been since we laughed so hard ?
How many times did we give in to the dark ?
'cuz there's a light that I'm sure is always shinin'
and everything stops hurting eventually.
LEAD (VERSE X 1/2)
Looking to find the pieces that you left behind
trying to feel the way you used to feel
when you're outta lines, you should just go on singing
the things you earn are better than the things you used to steal
REPEAT CHORUS X 2
