FULL LYRICS:
im still scared of routine
im not quite broken in
cuz when your on the untamed road
the days dont stay the same
girl i shoulda told you this before i felt the sting
now im on a dusty bedroom floor
im still scared of safety
and frowning at a risk
then looking back on yesterdays
and swearin bout whacha missed
girl i shoulda told this before i felt the sting
now im lyin in a pile of my own sin
I dont think im ready to go home
If you love me let me travel on my own.
go alone
but never alone
youre alone
but never alone
The bottomline of capital
is out for number one
and the poor wont stop the fights
when hardend cities are at war
Girl i shoulda told you this before the day was through
now i'm sleepin like i never even knew
I dont think im ready to go home
If you love me let me travel on my own.
go alone
but never alone
youre alone
but never alone
im still scared of pride
cuz it might be the drug
the heroin of self-esteem
just lost its high through blood
girl i shoulda told you this before i felt the fall
now im lyin in a cold cathedrial hall
Theres only one rebellion
theres only one reward
the deaf need better reasons
to strum a different chord
girl i shoulda told you this before i heard aloud
myself hecklin at an old familiar crowd
