lyrics
Didn't need to tell me
Got the message on my own
Doesn't mean I didn't have a plan
Open my arms
Let your life in
It's cold and I'm breathing
A place to begin
No clumsy escape, no state that you're in
6 years and a month
And we're back here again
Wanted you to tell me,
It wasn't them or thought control
You came here begging all on your own
To open your arms
Let my life in
Been looking for ages now turn yourself in
While I'm hand to mouth
You're counting degrees
That I fucked this up
You don't know where I've been
Overstayed my welcome,
Into the darkness on my own
All the time convinced...
...it's over and over
No dream to believe in
A half finished sentence
In people im seeing
We don't believe in anything x2
A vicious circle twisting
I'm in this tale spin on my own
And happy to say I won't let you in
I open my arms
Let new life in
6 years and a month and the places I've been
There's no looking back
No cardinal sin
Can keep me from thinking
I won't fail again
