Just maybe now I shouldn’t let the world burn
Just because I couldn’t find my way home
I’ve been walking circles, nowhere left to turn
But I’ll be okay; at least that’s what I’m told
Yeah, I’ll be okay
Because I’m growing up in a way
That feels like breaking every day
A professional people pleaser, that’s what I became
The priest to whom the broken came to pray
I wiped away your tears like they were mine
But who’s gonna wipe mine away?
Who’s gonna hear me cry?
I’m losing track, I’m losing time…
Young girl, you’re losing your life
Fly away, don’t look back, you’ll be fine
You’re on your own, just hold on tight
The pain in your spine is just for now
You’ll be alright
You’ll be just fine
Your house is abandoned, haunted by your ghost-stains
Like melt-snow blame dripping through your brain
You buried every version of yourself in that place
Now you stand in the doorway afraid
But it’s time to leave this all behind
To walk away from the ruins in your mind
Maybe this life was not enough
Maybe one day you'll heal your soul
For now, Superman, save them all
Maybe one day they'll catch you when you fall
Catching your pieces of the road
Choose yourself this time
The hell will burn just for a while
Young girl, you’re losing your life
But fly away, don’t look back, you’ll be fine
You’re on your own, but growing each night
And the ache in your spine is only for now
You’re learning how to try
And you’ll be just fine
