Shudder

When I said everything had to change
All you needed was someone to take the blame
But I can't imagine it differently
When your darkest secret
Is something kept tucked underneath

I know we won't see the same side
When the glow is gone in sympathy's eyes
If we could only bleed the lines
Between patience and pride

I've been tripping alone just to give you the news
Tell me why I should stay
The nightmare's gripping a hold
To reveal who you and I could be

But if I'm kicked in the teeth
You know I'll come right back swinging
A disaster after all
The writing was on the walls

It's time that we hit brakes
Obviously we're so in and out of love
But I can't imagine it differently
When all you needed
Was an alternative to me

I know we won't see the same side
I know you won't be the one to hide
You'll say exactly how it feels
I know what that means
I know what that means

I've been tripping alone just to give you the news
I don't know what I should say
I've been tripping alone to give you the timing of the day

But if I'm kicked in the teeth
You know I'll come right back swinging
A disaster after all
The writing was on the walls

I'm so sick of the hideous, our love was lost, we fade out
We often side with compromise to let us feel love
A melody arranged in and out of time
With an honest depiction of a mind inspired
Given one shot, we're only bound to this life
The price we pay to feel alive
