This quiet room turns black
The smoke it fills my lungs
And I can barely breathe
Watching it all go down in flames
I might as well go too
And I can barely breathe
[Chorus:]
All this time hurt by my own defeat
Replay it all then throw away
It's all that I know
Days away, these ties unwind and break
Things won't be like they used to be
Just let me go
Can't find my own way down
As this seventh story burns
So won't you carry me
I wish that I could be more like you
Safe on the ground below but I
Know that I'll end up underneath
[Chorus]
Always, I've waited for this day
I'll wait too long so let me go
You're safe right where you landed
I'm taking chances on my own
The smoke it fills my lungs
And I can barely breathe
Watching it all go down in flames
I might as well go too
And I can barely breathe
[Chorus:]
All this time hurt by my own defeat
Replay it all then throw away
It's all that I know
Days away, these ties unwind and break
Things won't be like they used to be
Just let me go
Can't find my own way down
As this seventh story burns
So won't you carry me
I wish that I could be more like you
Safe on the ground below but I
Know that I'll end up underneath
[Chorus]
Always, I've waited for this day
I'll wait too long so let me go
You're safe right where you landed
I'm taking chances on my own
