Verse 1:
Fire's slowly burning out
watch all the ashes fall to the ground
And broken windows aren't so scary
when you learn fixing them isn't your burden to carry
Pre-chorus:
You know it's only a matter of time
Everyone begins to blur the lines
Between what's right and what's easy
Goodbye obsessive compulsive reality
Chorus:
We're never the people we promise we'll be
And I'm afraid I'm already as good as I'll ever be
And I'm afraid that might be enough for me
Verse 2:
I'd like to drive away in my car
But sometimes the risk isn't worth the reward
We build up the pressure it's all we can do
And the world feels different when people are counting on you
Pre-chorus:
You know it's only a matter of time
Everyone begins to blur the lines
Between what's right and what's easy
Goodbye obsessive compulsive reality
Chorus:
We're never the people we promise we'll be
And I'm afraid I'm already as good as I'll ever be
And I'm afraid that might be enough for me
