She said not to leave but don't you make a sound
When I'm weighed down with this doubt, oh I will stick around
And I know you said to stay, but when I'm being pushed around
Follow the day, oh I will stand my ground
Never wanna be one to shy away from a situation
You're calling my name but I refuse to listen
In to all the afterthoughts and into all the experience you taught
Oh I will face the day
Cut to the chase, oh I see more than one face
Reality is better than my dreams could ever be
And when I fall asleep it feels like I'll be here forever
In time I'll smile, worth the while
I was imagining your hand
In place of mine, I'll trace a line to make you understand
And when you look at me your eyes they light a thousand rooms
You take a smile and heal my memories and my open wounds
I live to fight another day
Once bitten twice shy, oh now I beg you to defy
Me one last time, just one last time (just one last)
Educate me on the mess that I created when I left
Chase this away, just to say it's ok
If all I do is sit and moan on what it's like to feel alone
Pull me off my chair and I'll begin to care
Let's write down our memories and talk out by the willow trees
We can take the day
Cut to the chase, oh I see more than one face
Reality is better than my dreams could ever be
And when I fall asleep it feels like I'll be here forever
In time I'll smile, worth the while
I was imagining your hand
In place of mine, I'll trace a line to make you understand
And when you look at me your eyes they light a thousand rooms
You take a smile and heal my memories and my open wounds
I live to fight another day
This sweet satire's got me so confused
And all it takes is just one hit to make me bruise
This sweet satire's got me so headspun
And you don't need me to tell you that you have won
Reality is better than my dreams could ever be
And when I fall asleep it feels like I'll be here forever
In time I'll smile, worth the while
I was imagining your hand
In place of mine, I'll trace a line to make you understand
And when you look at me your eyes they light a thousand rooms
You take a smile and heal my memories and my open wounds
I live to fight another day
