Fatal Concept - You Can't Sleep Through A Buffalo Stampede

Holding onto a tightrope
That's only burned me in the end
Letting go of what once was
Is the only way to be myself again
Time never being on our side
I'm the only one left in line
While your past cuts through me
It gets you and cuts into me
Games I'm always failing
Being a pawn never seemed to fit me
But I know my worth, I need better
I know I deserve a better forever
You have to know
I love you but this ship is sinking quickly
And we need to live so lonely or we will drown in this toxicity
Here I stand upon this new foundation
You will know, a lonely island against a stormy sea
I can't help but feel untied from the weight
That was all of your repressed feelings
Finally seeing an honest form
Of what is written on the crumbled stones
That litters the seabed spelling the end of us
You have to know
I love you but this ship is sinking quickly
And we need to live so lonely or we will drown in this toxicity
Here I stand upon this new foundation
You will know, a lonely island against a stormy sea
I can't help but feel that
This wasn't meant for you and me
Living broken and bittersweet
But know that I will not
Forget the lesson you gave to me
That mistakes lead to better things
I hope that in time you
See the bigger picture of brighter futures built for both of us
Even if separately we will be free
You have to know
I love you but this ship is sinking quickly
And we need to live so lonely or we will drown in this toxicity
Here I stand upon this new foundation
You will know, a lonely island against a stormy sea
No longer ashamed of who we used to be
Now I can sleep soundly knowing that life goes on
I wish the best for you as well as for me too
I know that sometime soon we'll fondly look back at this
