Brave Face

I’ve been looking for an exit
Hoping things might turn out right
But I’ve got nothing left to offer
When there is no end left in sight
Will you see me in the same light
You used to shine upon yourself?
Or is it in vain for me to let go
Like you did for everybody else?

I saw the leaves change, and I’m hoping to say the same for me
A chance to be the better person you’d want me to be
But I’m still holding out and holding on
To things I know just don’t belong
And never getting what I need

Is it fair to bring oursеlves to this?
A fragile, fleeting mess?
Oh, what I’d givе to let the hands of time
Bring me back to what I miss
Can’t I just put on a brave face?
Can’t I just live in the moment, instead of counting days?
I fear that we might meet the same fate

I saw the leaves change, and I’m hoping to say the same for me
A chance to be the better person you’d want me to be
But I’m still holding out and holding on
To things I know just don’t belong
And never getting what I need

I’m feeling lost and without purpose
But that comes as no surprise
You always told me that my head
Was better off up in the sky
And I guess it all makes sense;
The way you had to leave
You ripped my heart out of my chest
And let it fall here at my feet
You’d think I’m used to all the absence
But I’m just too scared to see
That I pushed everyone away
And left this room a tragic scene of my own making
I’m not faking a smile anymore
I guess my time is up;
I’ve never felt more home than on the floor

There in time;
A parting scene
Open your eyes
And let them watch me leave
