lyrics

Maybe it's a blessing nothing really goes your way
Maybe there's a lesson that you ought to try to take
While you're living there's nothing guaranteed to stay
So you kill it before it can get out the gate

Maybe there's a reason love is always bound to fade
Maybe if you'd leave us we would recognise the space
Cause this silence doesn't serve to speak instead
And your island is growing round your feet again

Now the centre I know has lost its edge there's a feeling I'm sure is not pretend but I'm meant to be out chasing the labels I need
I think the reason you're lost is that you know that opinions and clothes are all for show
And your time should be spent fixing the things that you feel, not see

Maybe this is broken, maybe soon the truth won't sting
Just because you're open doesn't mean it's to the right things
And the ending won't stop until you find a place where depending looks to be the better way; a way that is better than wanting better than what you have now
Someone who's hearing you clearly, chasing the fear and the doubt
Cause everything's making you rush it, rush it or throw it away
It's you who is going to be asking, asking - help with the pain
