If we forget where we're from And if I could wipe it clean Could you see past a face Dirtied by history I tried to stand to expectations But every action comes up short Like a fool cast out at sea I'm a ship without a port But I'm trying to turn the page And I'm trying to map my way Though all the truths that I tell Seem to come a lie too late And this stage has worn me down Behind the lights I'm all alone But if I could get to you Perhaps I could still make it home Truth be told I'm a little far behind But I'm trying to make amends And if I pay for my mistakes Maybe we could still start again It's a brand new year behind these eyes I know it's hard to see When all you come to know is not who I want to be And I've broken up this fantasy Because I'm scared to d**h of subtlety
But behind this paper skin there's a heartbeat waiting And truth be told, I'm a little far behind But I'm trying to make amends And if I pay for my mistakes Maybe we could still start again I know it's late and I know I should have led With all the feelings in my gut Instead of stopping short of breath And now I'm lost inside my head Truth be told I'm a little far behind But I'm trying to make amends And if I pay for my mistakes... Truth be told I'm a little far behind But I'm trying to make amends And if I pay for my mistakes Maybe we could still start again I know it's late and I know I should have led With all the feelings in my gut Instead of stopping short of breath And now I'm lost inside my head I'm lost inside my head I'm lost inside my head
