dodie - Before the Line lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to smile at every star and thank the sky Now I look up to all the duds and wonder why I feel like all of them are gone Can’t feel a single one [Verse 2] And so I stretch my eyes across the land and sea I know I loved the world, but now it’s flat to me Oh, tell me, did someone snatch the light? Why doesn’t it look right? [Chorus] I made a promise, but I break it every day It’s not my fault, for I was promised just the same Once I saw fire, and all I know is something happened Did I let it go? [Verse 3] Now every morning since the line between my lives I greet the sun and ask, “Have I already died? If not, then why am I alone? And when can I come home?” [Bridge] Oh, and I am lying when I say It’s time to let her float away No, I’m still glowing for the strings Oh, I’d do any fu*king thing I know I have to close the door Too much to miss it anymore I think that this really is it I’ll have to take what I can get I’ll have to take what I can get What I can get [Chorus] I made a promise, but I break it every day It’s not my fault, for I was promised just the same Once I saw fire, and all I know is something happened Did I let it go? I made a promise, but I break it every day No, it’s not my fault, for I was promised just the same Once I saw fire, and all I know is something happened Did I let it go? Once I saw fire, and all I know is something happened Did I let it go?
