Elena

I’d keep hitting the bars
Getting home when others head out
To lives I didn’t want, to responsibilities
Full of empty nights, disappointing my parents
I’d keep hitting the bars if you hadn’t shown up

From keeping quiet for so long
The damage I did to people
Not standing up front
With those who could’ve helped me

I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware
Of how much I shot my mouth off
I wasn’t brave enough
With so many dead around me

But then you came along and I decided to change it
Now that I see the light, I won’t stay silent
I’m gonna talk about your heartbeat, about your way of laughing
About how much I calm down when I finally see you here
It’s not your fault, it’s mine, somehow I’d stop

That hell that’s now life
Waking up every day
With your time, my moment
When I light up your smile
And your clothes fall to the floor
And your mouth becomes mine

But then you came along and I decided to change it
Now that I see the light, I won’t stay silent
I’m gonna talk about your heartbeat, about your way of laughing
About how much I calm down when I finally see you here

But then you came along and I decided to be something
Closer to the light, I won’t stay silent
I’m gonna talk about your heartbeat, about my will to live
About how much I calm down when I finally see you here
