lyrics

People come and people go
But I am not one of those
Poetry not prose
That's just how it goes
We live the life we chose
But did you sacrifice your soul?

Why are we all so blind for most of our lives
Until we are redefined?

Haven't you heard the news yet?
All of these words I'm choosing
Stem from the memories that got the best of me
And swallowed me whole

There was a girl who was a lot like you
Not her hair, or her eyes, or her smile
But the way you do what makes you you

My heart it burns while I yearn for my mistakes to be wiped clean
But they are sewn on me

Haven't you heard the news yet?
All of these words I'm choosing
Stem from the memories that got the best of me
And swallowed me whole
What's the use in holding on
To all the times we got it wrong?
Well, at least I've got a song

I built a house made out of stone
But there were cracks in the mold
And it wouldn't hold
Like broken bones
I've been to hell and called it home
Why is it so cold?
And why would I sacrifice my soul?
