I've grown a bit smug, partaking in the drug
I used to so ardently despise
I've played it safe, kept to my kin
Wrapped myself in a wedding gown
Made of my indecision
Silk from a lovely vision
Of a place that I'll never go
I'll be pregnant with envy
Let it overcome me
Live like a specter with seed to sow
And I'll never go
And I'll never go
Every woman's soul that searches
Every silent word that curses
Every fallen star that ever fell
Every mother's heart that's broken
Temptations left unspoken
Every coin that I tossed in the well
Maybe I was wrong
And the lights of the city are calling to me
And maybe I was scared
That I couldn't be all that you wanted from me
So please, no more words
No advice or new methods
Because I'm dying of good intentions
Your sleek optimism
And your practiced charm
They break my heart
They make me like a promise
When we were young and blind
Drunk on communion wine
With my doubt to meet your child
Oh, don't you remember
So young and tender
She'll be a runner just like me
Every woman's soul that searches
Every silent word that curses
Every silent word that curses
Every fallen star that ever fell
Every mother's heart that's broken
Temptations left unspoken
Every coin that I tossed in the well
Maybe I was wrong
And the lights of the city are calling to me
And maybe I was wrong
And I was scared
That I couldn't be all that you wanted from me
But maybe you were right
And it's time I let go of all these childish things
And maybe you were wrong
To hold up your hands and let the silence sing
And maybe you were wrong

To walk away from me


Your footsteps by the door
My body on the floor
Don't know what we're fighting for
Don't know what we're fighting for
I try to fall asleep
The sickness runs too deep
Don't know what we're fighting for
Don't know what we're fighting for
Don't know what we're fighting for
I don't know what we're fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting for
I don't know what we're fighting for
I don't know what we're fighting for
We'll be right back.
