Promise

Why do I do what I hate?
How can I give when I take?
I'm 24 with my hands in my pockets
Why can't I stop this? (Why can't I stop this?)
Pushing away is easier than the chase
But you promise to wait
So what does that make me?
I just keep sinking down with this feeling
Am I in too deep?
I feel trapped beneath the weight
I just want an honest way to say
"I need a change."
Son, you grew up faster than the fall of rain
You've always been the man that I gave to this world. To this world.
You've always been a miracle
Time flyin' past me like a bullet train
And I've fallen underneath of the weight of this world. Weight of this world.
Relying on a miracle
I'm 24 with my hands in my pockets
Why can't I stop this? Why can't you stop this?
Why do I love what I hate?
How can I give when I take?
I need a change
A change
