Once I was alive and I could feel

I was holding on to you

And I redefined the way I learn to talk, it's only human

I went down a crooked highway

I went all outside the line

I've been rejected, now the light has turned and I'm out of time

Ain't no way I'm gonna last

Hiding in the seams, I can't move the past

Feel like I'm about to crash

Riding on my line, I keep keeping on

Once we were apart and I could see red

Never trying to turn back time

Never meant to bring my pain into the frame and into your life

But I'm headed down a different road now

Can we walk it side by side?

Is an old memory just another way of saying goodbye?

Ain't no way I'm gonna last

Hiding in the seams, I can't move the past

Feel like I'm about to crash

Riding the same line, I keep keeping on

And he never gonna change

He never gonna mind

I keep moving on the path, yeah

Holding on to mine

When you talk about the past

What are we talking of?

Did I let go too fast?

Was I holding on too long?

Ain't no truth to someone's lies

As silent as the sea

I've been holding on too long?

But you're right in front of me

Ain't no moon is gonna cast, shadows on my scene

I keep moving with these changes, yeah, ooh
