hanging by a thread
wrapping up in a rug
cause your arms left this place long ago
when you held so tight and i felt so safe
but you were just playing. playing away
whilst i was away and then you dare to shift the blame
but now im shifting shapes, shifting form
creating, taking on a new life, a new day, new dawn
'cause the sun still sets when you're not here
and the sun rises brighter without the fear
of not being good enough for you
making me feel i was in debt to you
for loving so strongly, perhaps wrongly
i saw my future in you
an image that you painted over tainted with others
and it took me a while to forget you
but ill remember it was the perfect start to my own race
against myself, making sounds, making waves
riding the swell through all kinds of days
but im still kind and i imagine you're still kinda dazed
by your own selfish ways , and it's just how it played out
maybe you're the same but i've changed now
threw that burned tshirt away, pheonix through the flames
pedal to the floor towards my best days
