[Intro - Melancholic Clean Guitar] [Verse 1 - Intimate, Weary Vocals] Smoke from my cigarette hangs in the cold, Another empty night with no one left to hold. Every morning brings another kind of pain, And the hours crawl by just to start again. I don't recognize the person I've come to be, Wonder why somebody would ever want me. Everybody says that love will come in time, But the clock keeps moving while I fall behind. [Pre-Chorus - Building Frustration] And I'm tired of hearing that I'll be okay, When it takes everything to face another day. I nod along so no one sees the strain, Then go back home and sit alone again. [Chorus - Explosive, Emotional] I'm running out of reasons, running out of fight, Tired of being lonely every single night. I'm screaming on the inside, but I never make a sound, Just another broken heart in a world that spins around. And I don't need forever, I don't need a grand design, I'm sick of empty promises that everything takes time. I'm borrowing tomorrow, though I can't explain what for, When every morning finds me right back where I was before. [Verse 2 - Driving Guitars, Bitter Melodies] I've gotten pretty good at saying that I'm fine, Making everybody laugh while I'm falling behind. I try to be the person everybody wants around, But I'm always on the outside when the walls come down. I see the happy couples, see the lives they've made, And all the dreams I carried slowly start to fade. I've got so much love I never got to give, And nowhere left to put it in this life I have to live. [Pre-Chorus - Rising Emotional Tension] Everybody's fighting battles of their own, But that won't make it easier to face this one alone. I don't expect somebody else to make me whole, I just hate how every night feels so damn cold. [Chorus - Powerful, Desperate Vocals] I'm running out of reasons, running out of fight, Tired of being lonely every single night. I'm screaming on the inside, but I never make a sound, Just another broken heart in a world that spins around. And I don't need forever, I don't need a grand design, I'm sick of empty promises that everything takes time. I'm borrowing tomorrow, though I can't explain what for, When every morning finds me right back where I was before. [Bridge - Stripped Back, Exposed Vocals] No sudden revelation, no voice inside my head, No perfect little speech to pull me out of bed. I tell myself I'm fine until the room goes quiet, And every thought I buried starts another riot. I don't know when it changes, I don't know where to start, I'm tired of making music from a tired, aching heart. And everybody tells me I've just got to try, But nobody seems to hear me when I say I'm not alright. [Instrumental Break - Melancholic Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus - Explosive, Raw and Emotionally Exhausted] I'm running out of reasons, running out of fight, Still watching all the windows go dark across the night. The world keeps on moving, I just can't keep the pace, I wear a practiced smile like it belongs upon my face. I don't need forever, I don't need another lie, That things will all get better if I only give them time. I'm borrowing tomorrow, but I'm worn down to the bone, Another day of being here and feeling so alone. [Outro - Soft, Almost Whispered] The cigarette burns low against the cold, Still looking for a hand that I can hold. The sky turns gray, the city stirs awake... Another borrowed tomorrow, and the same old ache. [Instrumental Fade Out]
