hello morning
I was beginning to think you forgot
to come up rising
but sure enough

and I was waiting for gravity
with this new found sense so insecure
'cause what if just what if but what if one day
it won't return

why do I question all the answers I've known

hello character
I was hoping we'd finished our building
but it's another storm to grow on, another thorn to learn from
I wonder just how flawed I must really be

and what have I gathered? if life isn't fair,
then why am I never favored? is it balance you fear

chorus
I'm stronger than this I'm stronger than you
there's scars on my arms and my heart's torn through
but if letting you leave will be the one thing I do that saves me
then I'm letting you leave

you wanted a song about you
that talked of how great you are
you wanted my world and got it
but never planned on what to do if you made it that far

your eyes are like a castle in the winter in the snow
but cold is not becoming in a gateway to the soul

chorus

I'm giving up on you so
when you figure it out what this was here
I love you so don't come back please

chorus
