lyrics

I'm standing on my own
While everyday this weakness grows
But I am not alone
So are you ready to get going?

I don't know what else to say
'Cause words mean nothing anyway
Can't you see I'm not the same
Just take a second and you'll know it
And I can not describe just why I keep lying to myself
'Cause trust has to be earned
I guess I'll never learn

I didn't mean anything, I didn't mean anything I said to you
I didn't mean anything, I didn't mean anything I said, I'm just confused
And I've been waiting all along to say that it's alright
I didn't mean anything, I didn't mean anything

Stop pretending, the truth is hard to fake
The perfect ending is the one you wrote a day too late
Do you understand I don't think I can be the only one that tries to keep
My head from sinking down below my shoulders?

(And how can you) How can you replace something you never had
In the first place? (In the first place)

I didn't mean anything, I didn't mean anything I said to you
I didn't mean anything, I didn't mean anything I said, I'm just confused
And I've been waiting all along to say that it's alright
I didn't mean anything, I didn't mean anything

So do you understand I don't understand a single thing
I've said these past few years?
My words have no action and that is a fraction of all the
Promises that disappeared

I'm standing on my own
While everyday this weakness grows
But I am not alone
So are you ready to get going?
And I can not describe just why I keep lying to myself
'Cause trust has to be earned
I guess I'll never learn
