Traces - Garness

Head up, smile to your crowd Eyes foward, hands down Reckless, trying to be seen Don't say what you really mean (Pre-hook) Maybe you're on to me Maybe I'm alone And I always wait to see If something goes wrong Maybe you're on to me Maybe I'm alone (Hook) I don't belong here Speechless, if all's been said and done I can't lie but I can run And there's a pressure, underneath the surface I can't help but start to worry, oh no-no, n-no (Pre-Hook) Maybe you're on to me Maybe I'm alone And I always wait to see If something else goes wrong Maybe you're on to me Maybe I'm alone (Hook) I don't belong here (So long, so long) Oh it's the last try (So long, so long) (Hook) I don't belong here (Outro) Chain me up to keep me safe from all the Looks and selfless pain is too much, yeah Catch my breath and quick myself is all I asking All I say is too much

I want to take time see the world I want to get lost, make sense of it all Some place free, oh please I want to take time for my self Before I make room for somebody else Oh please, let me I'll change when the summer time wind don't simmer my skin But inspires to fall in love I'll change when my mind can sleep And I find no need to rely on someone else But it's still not the right time See your tired еyes look up at me Asking "When's it gonna changе?" I swore that it would change But I waited, waited, waited, waited way too long And now we gotta face eachother But we don't want to hurt eachother And I waited, waited, waited, waited way too long And I know you won't wait forever But I don't want to leave you out of fear of being wrong Wish that I'd see in myself All the good things seen in everyone else Someone free, oh please And I wish I could be strong enough To fix all of the things that went wrong with us Or set you free, oh please I'll change when the summer time wind don't simmer my skin But inspires to fall in love I'll change when my mind can sleep And I find no need to rely on someone else But it's still not the right time See your tired eyes look up at me Asking "When's it gonna change?" I swore that it would change But I waited, waited, waited, waited way too long And now we gotta face eachother But we don't want to hurt eachother And I waited, waited, waited, waited way too long I know you won't wait forever But we don't want to hurt eachother But I waited, waited, waited, waited way too long And now we gotta face eachother But we don't want to hurt eachother And I waited, waited, waited, waited way too long And I know you won't wait forever But I don't want to leave you out of fear of being wrong

Faded photographs, covered now with lines and creases Tickets torn in half, memories in bits and pieces Traces of love long ago that didn't work out right Traces of love Ribbons from her hair, souvenirs of days together The ring she used to wear, pages from an old love letter Traces of love long ago that didn't work out right Traces of love with me tonight I close my eyes and say a prayer that in her heart She'll find a trace of love still there somewhere, oh Traces of hope in the night that she'll come back and dry These traces of tears from my eyes, oh, yeah

I don't know what happened, I don't know who's right or wrong But suddenly we are building up a wall Of complicated moments that keep breaking us Pieces are falling everywhere I'm just standing here So this is how it feels to bleed To find a hole inside of me To admit that I am fragile I've lost the words I used to say Something changed along the way What to do Back to you I think about the future and the waste of yesterday Imagine if I could undo what has been done But echoes of your words just keep on lingering Right now it's so hard to move Right now it's even hard to breathe So this is how it feels to want Someone so bad that you hold on In the middle of the aching Who decides when love is done And why do we just want to run What to do Back to you So this is how it feels to love Deciding that I won't give up When the answer isn't easy Nobody wins when we're at war Or someone's walking out the door What to do Back to you Who decides when love is done And why do we just want to run What to do Back to you
