I can't change what comes so I run the other way
Pining for consequence to wait one more day
I fear for life and I fear for death alike
This in-between as if I wasn't just eighteen
I can't change who stays so I turn the other cheek
Cause one more farewell and my tears fill creeks
Alongside the train, it don’t stop but only wanes
A midnight chess game tied with no end in sight
Just some unfair kind of lie
That something this fragile that easily passed by
Just some unfair kind of joke
That something this vast is as easily broke
To fall every time
To say I'm way behind
And lean into every breath
To just say I've crossed a line
I don't want to cry
I don't want to change my mind
I don't want to end this life
I don't want to fall for another piece-of-good-news lie
Just some unfair kind of joke
That something this fragile's that easily broke
Just some unfair kind of lie
That something this vast is as easily passed
That something this fragile's that easily broke
