[Verse 1] The gloom of the day Seems to favour my thoughts Silent coldness of my existence Wrapping around the clock Every heartbeat Upsets another system Normal breaths Turn into painful sighs A sweet gentle cuddle Twists to a clench of hurt And I just watch it happen [Chorus] Looking back from a yesterday I thought I did something right Looking back at the old roads I swore I chose the better night Searching fast It feels like I walked a straight Clean line Searching slow I see it now I chose a solemn promise Over my own life [Verse 2] I trace old messages Like scars across the screen Hear my younger voice Making vows it couldn’t keep Smell of rain on broken plans Coffee gone cold by my hand Every small decision Heavy as a stone And I carry every one [Chorus] Looking back from a yesterday I thought I did something right Looking back at the old roads I swore I chose the better night Searching fast It feels like I walked a straight Clean line Searching slow I see it now I chose a solemn promise Over my own life (over my own life)
