i need to stand still, i need my hands still
i need my thoughts silent
i need my mind quiet, i need to find some stillness but i
don't think i deserve it though...
my hands are black with charcoal
my soul is cracked down the middle
my dreams aren't dreams, their nightmares and lies about things i could've done better
i wish i'd done better
i need to stop running
i need to give myself a warning
don't go before you lose
i think too much and i need too much
i try too much but not hard enough
take me out before i do it myself
chorus
but what could i have done
turned my heart ice cold all over again
just to feel it splinter and break and then
know my greatest sin was love
let me wash my hands of this love
chorus
what more could i have done
but maybe there's a place for me in the sun
