Lyrics
Clinging to a life and love that's lost and misconstrued
Pushing you so far away it's the easy thing to do
Slipping out my mind these empty thoughts that bring me you
Trying all the time but it's the try that's got me fooled
PRECHORUS:
Counting up my time
I blow away from you
Shadow in my mind
Bad memories and a loaded shotgun too
Feeling insecure and weak it's my own self abuse
Fighting with myself to hide what I know is nothing new
Holding on to a prayer that's destined to get through
Denying all the lies inside and denying all my truths
PRECHORUS:
Counting up my time
I blow away from you
Shadow in my mind
Bad memories and a loaded shotgun too
CHORUS:
I never felt I owed you anything
I never said I loved you too
I never listened to your bullshit
I never promised you the moon
Falling through the space and time of an emptiness consumed
Floating through the motions trying to change my point of view
Wanting so much more than this and I know you want it too
Lying is so hard when you see perfections come unglued
PRECHORUS:
Counting up my time
I blow away from you
Shadow in my mind
Bad memories and a loaded shotgun too
CHORUS:
I never felt I owed you anything
I never said I loved you too
I never listened to your bullshit
I never promised you the moon
