I heard the whispering of endings from the start
But I chose to disregard the promptings of my heart
All my belongings now are gathered at the door
But what is this baggage for I just needed myself and nothing more
I got your note, and I reflected on every angry word you wrote
Making it easier easier…
Chorus
I can not stay here anymore
There’s a part of me that’s dieing that I’m needing to restore
I can not live in this half light
We ain’t growing in these shadows and I’m needing something bright
I tried to tell you when I felt this strange demise but you were too comfortable
Living in oblivion and lies
You looked in my eyes and saw the goodbyes so plainly and so clear
You covered my mouth and wouldn’t let out the things you didn’t want to hear
I got your note and I reflected on every angry word you wrote making it easier easier…
Chorus
I can not stay here anymore
There’s a part of me that’s dieing that I’m needing to restore
I can not live in this half light
We ain’t growing in these shadows and I’m needing something bright
