    Sold Out

lyrics

Every step was fear
And when it tripped you up, you disappeared
Help is everywhere
And when it ripped your heart out,
you left it there

Rest your head, it’s off to bed to sing your final song
Even though you watched us go, you’ve known all along

Every dream was real
You’d wait a thousand years
If it would help you feel it
Still you want it all, despite the pain
That kept you trapped here and gave you everything

If the ending had played out like you’d scripted this way,
They would ask you to stay awhile
Though the ending has changed, your story’s always the same
And they will ask you to stay awhile,
And you will

Desperation starts,
and when you threw your heart out,
you missed the mark
Still you want it all, despite the pain
That kept you quiet and promised everything

Rest your head, it’s off to bed to sing your final song
Even though you watched us go, you’ve known all along
If you lost your head and were left for dead, you’d make it out alone
Even though you watched us go, you still would sing your song

I just need a reason not to fail
When it all comes down to the time and the place
Well, honestly I just need to feel that something good could come
From the lies and the wasted years
Just understand I never meant to leave you this way
