It's 4 am and I'm wide awake
waiting for the thoughts to fade
I flick a ring of all of my mistakes
and as the light starts creeping in
I slowly feel
the day I'm missing
but I wont even know where to begin

do I push too hard
I fall too fast
a moment never seems to last
and will I stop long enough to know

cos everybody burns
and when it starts to hurt
I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just cant walk away, this time.

your words circle in my head
and weigh so heavy on my chest
and I'm crushed by your expectation
I only want to do some good
to dumb to know if I could
and I just wanna feel the days I'm in

and do I go too far
not far enough
why cant I keep my big mouth shut and do
and lead the life that we should

and everybody burns
and when it starts to hurt I cry
I feel it in my veins
I just cant walk away, this time.

did I say too much again?
I'm just a girl in a panic
if I tell you my truth
am I getting through?
and it just seems I should confess
who am I to pretend?
this is more than I can carry

cos everybody burns
and when it starts to hurt
I cry

I hold my head up high
I know I'll be alright, this time.

I feel it in my veins
I just cant walk away this time.
this time
this time
this time
this time

its 4 am and I'm wide awake
waiting for my thoughts to fade
and its time like these I see your face
