Lyrics
Verse 1:
Maybe, I'll breathe this time and see the night is over
And I'm alive
And I'm feeling, like a gun against my head and I'm getting colder
Will I make it all right
Pre-chorus:
Every time it's the same old story
Suicide for you and I
You wait at night to fill my head
Chorus:
I'm looking for a light to shine
I'm looking for a friend to borrow
And you don't want to count on me
Verse 2:
Waiting, afraid that this might leave you down and broken
So I don't try
And you seal it with a kiss and ask me why
Why I don't mind
Dead line there's nothing for me
Seize the day or freeze the frame 'til you
get back, and fill my head
Chorus:
I'm looking for a light to shine
I'm looking for a friend to borrow
Something to erase the line
And kill that mess that fills my mind
Cause I don't want to wait today
And I don't want to waste tomorrow
And be the one that hated me
When you look back will you smile that way
Bridge:
Don't worry it's over
You know I'm going to feel rain
Don't worry it's over
You said I'm going to find it
You said I'm going to find it
You tell me hold my head high
Pre-chorus:
Every time it's the same old story
You live in my head
