lyrics

Blank spaces fill the path ahead of me
Nowhere to rest my head, nowhere to place my feet
I can only hope that these steps I keep taking won't lead me there
I've been watching this whole time
Doing nothing at all, standing on the sidelines
And this distance grows between me and the past
Looking forward never looking back

(Hold me down) I've been sinking
(Turn around) I'm still spinning
(There's silence now) but I'm screaming louder than I ever have

I'm just trying to get by, but do I even stand a chance
And if I'm letting go this time, I'm holding on to all I can
I just want to believe that there's something to believe
But I'm losing faith in myself
I don't want to believe that this is all I can be
But at least I'm standing now

Pretending never gets you far
A poor excuse for lying from the start
Remember life isn't free
And I would sell it all if I could have this to keep

Let it out, breathe it in
I'm so sick of this feeling
And I'm thinking 'bout leaving

I'm just trying to get by, but do I even stand a chance
And if I'm letting go this time, I'm holding on to all I can
I just want to believe that there's something to believe
But I'm losing faith in myself
I don't want to believe that this is all I can be
But at least I'm standing now

So many things I didn't say
But I don't regret anything
There has to be another way
To keep this from slipping away (away)
Away from me, but I'm still standing out of reach
Give me something to believe again
