lyrics
A great year just passed me by
And I'm beginning to regret all my alone time
I let go, the world was spinning
And I just sat inside the motion blur
I want to put an end to this dizziness
Well, it starts with that notebook on the floor
Who's to say that this ink is concrete
And these sad songs are building blocks
For all the road beneath my feet?
Who's to say that my future is paved with misery?
Maybe each pen has its own demons
And it's our hand's duty to try and beat them
Well, I let go my grip on this pen
Because I think that I might finally have won
Call me crazy, but I think I cure my heartbreak
When I put all my faith into a song.
Who's to say that this ink is concrete
And these sad songs are building blocks
For all the road beneath my feet?
Who's to say that my future is paved with misery?
I think it's time that I cut my losses
I'm sick of wasting all my time on lost causes
I think it's time that I cut my losses
I'm sick of wasting all my time, my time, my time
