Lyrics
Enter night, something tells me this ain't right
I just can't find the meaning of this life
All this time I've let these moments pass me by
Always waiting but my timing's never right
I'm not dying but I'm always killing time
Burning bridges though I'm not quite certain why
Someone rescue me before I lose my mind
Cause I can't take it anymore
Wake up, we're locked inside this hell
The sun is shining but I can't tell
I just can't do this on my own
We're all too lost to get back home
I know it's hard living life always en garde
All I ask is that you try to look the part
And this I swear, one day we'll make it out of here
In the meantime I'll be pulling out my hair
I never meant to let you down
I never meant to hurt you
This is what I want but I know this is not
what dreams are really made of
If you and me don't think that we
will ever make it out
Just ask yourself, Do you think it's worth it?
I think we're worth it
