I let my hopes get high

Distracted and wild

Got burned, I thought I'd learned to hide a smile

Stick by my tried and true, I'm an ignorant fool

Can't hate what I don't try, it's been a while

Winning or losing, I'm still broken, frail

Picking and choosing all the ways I still fail

I'll be too tired soon to feel anything new

'Til then I'll scream out all I've been through

I fear the end, lead on by a false hope

I can see the rest of my low tide's shallows

Standing at the edge of all the things I'm scared to feel

But when I fall from here, I'll face my fears

What if I sang about what I wanted to hear?

My dreams are passing by the hardest times

I made them my strength

I can't pretend that I could do it all again

When will it end?

Who do I have to be to fall painlessly?
