lyrics

I must admit that sometimes I lied
When I told you that you'd been on my mind
But today - yesterday's just a dream

Our conversations are the inside and out
A confession in the darkest of hours
But my darling we are living in-between

And for every piece of me that wants to scream out loud
There's something inside me that just keeps on shutting down
And believe I've tried to reconcile many times before
I guess it's easier said than done
(Ahh)

And I swear that I can't take it anymore
And I bet that you've been feeling just as lost
In my defence I'll say that I just run away
From the shadows

I'm in commotion, I'm a casualty
Got me thinking if we're in too deep
And I'm scared, I'm under
I'm slipping in through the cracks
Our bond is breaking and I'm struggling to settle down

And believe I've tried to reconcile many times before
But what if I'm just better off alone?
(Ahh)

And I swear that I can't take it anymore
And I bet that you've been feeling just as lost
In my defence I'll say that I just run away
From the shadows

Got a heavy heart that's beating
And a mind that don't believe in
Got a heavy heart that's beating
And a mind that don't believe in

Got a heavy heart that's beating
And a mind that don't believe in
Got a heavy heart that's beating
And a mind that don't believe in

And I swear that I can't take it anymore
And I bet that you've been feeling just as lost
In my defence I'll say that I just run away

And I swear that I can't take it anymore
And I bet that you've been feeling just as lost
In my defence I'll say that I just run away From the shadows
