[intro - instrumental] [Verse 1] I have drifted into footsteps of ghosts The burden I carry all too well Caught in this haze Of loss and guilt I don't want to close the door But the trust has faded hard Sinking me deeper in the cries of illusion And I can't break through your pain [Pre-Chorus 1] Don't listen... (Hear the voice) Don't choose... (Hear the noise) Don't break between the choice of peace and pain... [Chorus] If I can't go without the lines of life beside me Then let it carry on ahead I need that acceptance Let your heart tell me more today But you gotta be free without me I know that's hard to take But if you come back, I will never understand Why you gotta suffocate me? [Verse 2] I instilled my heart to it all But the whispers still crept in Words were clouded in between And then it all started to burn Why the Illusions fill your eyes? Why can't you see beyond this grief? Give and take can only pull me deeper And I'm worn from drowning for you [Pre-Chorus 2] Don't listen... (Hear the voice) Don't choose... (Hear the noise) Don't break between the choice of peace and pain... [Chorus 2] If I can't go without the lines of life beside me Then let it carry on ahead I need that acceptance Let your heart tell me more today But you gotta be free without me I know that's hard to take But if you come back, I will never understand Why you gotta suffocate me? [Bridge] I tried to protect your pain Instead you pulled me deeper Never let me breathe for air I hate this feeling Of letting it go [Final Chorus] If I can't go without the lines of life beside me Then let it carry on ahead I need that acceptance Let your heart tell me more today But you gotta be free without me I know that's hard to take But if you come back, I will never understand Why you gotta suffocate me? [Outro] Drift away Drift away Drift away Let the winds set you free [Fade]
