Lyrics

"You're working the side where I wanted to be.
I wish I could know how everything seems from there.
And i wish you had some room to spare.
I'm dotting my I's and crossing my T's,
And i'm taking the scraps that you laid out for me.
Yeah that you laid out for me

And the world never felt so cold
And you hate what you need
And it all, falls in on itself
And you hate what you mean

You're breaking the line I wanted to keep,
I wish I could know, how everything feels from there
Yeah and I wish you wouldn't fly off the rails
Yeah well I'm crossing my heart and clenching my teeth
And i'm taking the path that you laid out for me
Yeah, you laid it all out for me

And the world never felt so cold
And you hate what you need
And it all, falls in on itself
so you say what you mean

The weight of the world's so damn heavy
You just can't ever seem to hold it steady
There's a crack in the wall that is bursting already
You just can't ever seem to hold it steady

And the world never felt so cold
And you hate what you need
And it all, falls in on itself
so you say what you mean"
