[Eternal]

You know that hope you're holding to?
It looks an awful lot like fear.
Now you're so quick to fall on failure
And so quick to raise your voice
Like, if I can't find a mistake to blame
We didn't have a choice
Oh, but you had an option
I was your chance to feel complete
But when I leaned in close to you
You kissed your fear instead of me

You had my heart on your sleeve
You had a chance to breathe
But boy, you wouldn't let your fear recede
So I moved on.
Oh, and it's too late to change your mind
Now you got scared, boy, and I got gone.
Now you failed and there's no way to turn back time
You had your chance boy,
I tried.

My girl, you must understand that fear is not some product that I made
It crept unwelcome in my head unwelcomed
The day they had her torn away
It changed me.

Now at the end of every day I lie awake at night and wait to feel
The wires of my brain get cut and quietly rearranged
And hear my beaten heart exclaim
Still I refuse to let her go.
So we escape to our mistakes
For they wait patiently for us.
Oh, how they always wait for me
If my fear has kept me here
Only my fear can set me free
And I'm sorry dear
But don't you dare speak another word
How could I risk holding your heart in me
While still in love with her?
You were wrong.
