Look at my mind, I'm feeling like a drunkard

Don't hit me like it used to do

I'm burnin' like a coal thrown down in the ocean

Running out of time when I look at you

I'm hanging by a thread, just tryna remember

All the things you said that you needed to do

I'm breaking like a wave strung out on the water

Holding onto anything that I can use to pull me through

I never really wanted you to know

It's not like I was just another darkened door

Holding onto something that I never had

I never really wanted you to know

It's not like I was just another darkened door

Holding onto something that I never had

I'm tired of the same emotion

Just humming like a dead line on the wire

I'm drifting on a wave of cold illusion

It's all that I can do on the funeral pyre

You could've been a wraith or maybe a brother

The city light burns as you walk on by

It's burning like a cigarette out of the ashes

Hanging on a breeze, I see them break

Towards the sky

I never really wanted you to know

It's not like I was just another darkened door

Holding onto something that I never had

I never really wanted you to know

It's not like I was just another darkened door

Holding onto something that I never had

I'm hanging by a thread, just tryna remember

All the things you said that you needed to do

I'm breaking like the wave strung out on the water

Holding onto anything that I can use to pull me through

I never really wanted you to know

It's not like I was just another darkened door

Holding onto something that I never had

I never really wanted you to know

It's not like I was just another darkened door

Holding onto something that I never had

I never really wanted you to know

It's not like I was just another darkened door

Holding onto something that I never had

I never really wanted you to know

It's not like I was just another darkened door

Holding onto something that I never had
