Guess you could say that I knew all along,
You're playing the game and pretending you're strong,
Trying to wait is a waste of a time,
Nobody's somebody till they try.
I filled my cup with a liquor of lies,
I covered up all the thoughts in my mind,
Lying awake I was left wondering why,
We work just to live and we live to die.
I don't need grace,
I'll find my place,
Don't need straight lines,
I'll be just fine.
(Chorus)
Take what you need from me,
I'll be okay when you're
Callin' my name as I'm drivin' away
Yeah I'll keep moving on till there's nowhere to run,
No one can take that away,
No one.
Spin me around let the weight pull you down,
Keep me awake with the silence of sound,
Don't let the world's wicked weighs make you blind,
We're lucky that we even get one try.
I don't need grace,
I'll find my place,
Don't need straight lines,
I'll be just fine.
