The Moment That It Stops

Lazy days

You're the only thing they waste away

You're so afraid

Of all the problems you've been faking

And you will wonder where I've gone

When you want me to make your heart sing

The boys will still be chasing on

But they can't guarantee the whole thing

And when you cry

The eyeliner will slip beneath your eyes

You catch your breath

Brush off your cheek

Still aching as your hands grip at your sides

He wrecks your dress

Daring words

Do you believe that I've been stealing time?

And all that hurts

Will only fade as the days fly

And then you'll open up your arms

And you'll be soon to let me in, dear

Free from the heartache of his harm

When we're the only ones who'll be here

And when you cry

The eyeliner will slip beneath your eyes

You catch your breath

Brush off your cheek

Still aching as your hands grip at your sides

Oh, I wreck your dress

I think a change is what I need

(I thought you needed someone you knew you could trust entirely)

I've always been fine on my own

(I thought that you were growing tired of always feeling alone)

These days drag on, I'm losing faith

(You said we'd work it out together but you're pushing me away)

Well I'm here but I fear my heart is not

(You said your heart would follow me until the moment that it stops)

You should have known

With all the things I crowded in your mind

I'd leave you a mess
