Steady Heart

Like the calm before the storm
You always wanted so much more
But there was nothing left to give
I found no proper way to live
And how'd you prove them so right
By proving me so wrong

I tried so hard to give you my all
But you only used me 'til I would fall

So you can go if you want to
Leave if you need to, baby
Our two wrongs don't make a right
And I'll give you a head start
If it'll give you a peaceful mind
And a steady heart
A steady heart

Like that sting in your hand after the blow
It festers in my mind what I can't control
And you'd treat me like a window
Looking right through me even though
I've tried to close the blinds
But you'd stop me every time

Although I've tried so hard to give you my all
You knew, for you, that I would fall

So you can go if you want to
Leave if you need to, baby
Our two wrongs don't make a right
And I'll give you a head start
If it'll give you a peaceful mind
And a steady heart

I'm not sure why I keep trying, but I do
Why did I have so much trust in you?
Why do I hold on to the thoughts of what could've been?
When I know it'll never be

So now that I've given it my all
I won't be the one to take the fall

Well you can go if you want to
Leave if you need to, baby
Our two wrongs don't make a right
And I'm giving you that head start
It's giving me a peaceful mind
And a steady heart
I'm going 'cause I want to
I'm leaving 'cause I need to
And I'm taking that head start
For my peaceful mind
And my steady, my steady heart
My steady heart
