I finished reading the book That you had recommended I wonder what I should do Now that it has ended Is there something more I could say With another night descended I'll start another story But can this one be mended Chorus 1: Is this detour Just coming to the crux No lose or win Just a constant state of flux Another year has passed And we are growing older It's the same as it has been No warmer and no colder How could it go for this long Still feels like a placeholder How much longer will this be Of us who is the bolder Chorus 2:: You'll find your way Just don't push all your luck For what is life Just a constant state of flux The future's in your eyes Though it's hard not to be wary We come together naked Oh with everything we've carried How will we look back on this Will the past stay buried How I wish it could be now God I wish you weren't married Chorus 2 Chorus 3: Not gonna lie Sometimes it really sucks Hearts break and mend In this constant state of flux

I hope I am better Than I used to be I hope down the line There's a better version of me I hope I do more Than the least I can do Regret for how I was I hope I don't hurt you I want to be better than I was I want to be better than I was I hope you are treated The way that you deserve I hope these sweet nothings Are meant with every word I hope for a brighter future Where we don't run away I hope for growth together Rather than slow decay I want to be better than I was I want to be better than I was I hope I am as good As I'm always told I hope that if the fire dies I won't get fully cold I hope when the time comes I'll be smart enough to know I don't have to hang on I don't have to let go I want to be better than I was I want to be better than I was I want to be better than I was I want to be better than I am

For better and for worse I get what I deserve Nothing less and nothing more Than what I have earned I won't take the lower road I won't be the lesser man But every time I look at you I wonder if I can Chorus: What happened to The way we were She is still here I'm looking right at her There is still hope For things to get better In a broken home Am I the wrecker How many have I loved Can you quantify that feel When I'm caught up in oounting Do I miss what could be real Love keeps its splendor Even when it corrodes How could everything I love Be in binary code Chorus

Do you wish to forget Who you are and who you've been Thinking about moving on Pondering the where and when Whose name does your heart call In case you're on their mind Who will be the last The silence swells behind Changing your behavior Is the best apology Who you were before Isn't who you'll always be Forgiveness isn't easy It won't always be earned Just know that some bridges Are meant to stay burned So which one will you choose To forgive or to forget Perhaps you've already chosen And I just don't know it yet Just tell me that you loved me It doesn't have to be true Cause maybe I'll believe me After hearing it first from you

When I look up at a cloudy sky Does someone look down on me If I want to take a look at myself Whose eyes must I see When someone reaches out to me Is there a reason why I need to know if the air is thin Do I climb a Mountain of Lies When everyone all smiles at me With hands to extend Which ones are safe and which are not Do I turn my back on a friend Am I afraid to deal the deck For the pain that I do know Am I afraid of the future And the things that it could show Another day a new challenge Another test to go through The wars in my head are raging again Which side do I listen to Am I another number With the tasks to fulfill There is someone who controls my life A stranger to me free will There's a reason I remember That savage defeat For if we choose to forget the fights The history will only repeat I've been so long on the outside I see what I'm looking for So here I stand no key in hand I must break down the door So here I stand no key in hand I must break down the door So here I stand no key in hand I must break down the door
