Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So everybody's pullin' you in all directions
You don't know how much longer to take it
So you've learned how to fake it
That smile on the outside's fading fast
Like the things that you thought for sure would last, but they didn't
You know somethings missin'
[Verse 2]
Is it your life you're not livin'?
[Verse 3]
Your heart is cold, your soul is numb, you don't like who you've become
You played the game and paid the cost for long enough
So grab the reins, take the wheel, lose what's not and keep what's real
It's not too late, just close your eyes and feel
Feel
[Verse 4]
You can't tell if you're happy or sad
Can't tell the good from bad, you're senseless
To waste your senses
Maybe stop thinkin' with your head
Start using your heart instead, just try it
You might just like it
[Verse 5]
Aren't you dyin' to start livin'?
[Verse 6]
Your heart is cold, your soul is numb, you don't like who you've become
You played the game and paid the cost for long enough
So grab the reins, take the wheel, lose what's not and keep what's real
It's not too late, just close your eyes and feel
[Verse 7]
Every breath that's goin' through you
Take each day that's givin' to you
To love back the ones who love you, yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
Your heart is cold, your soul is numb, you don't like who you've become
You played the game and paid the cost for long enough
So grab the reins, take the wheel, lose what's not and keep what's real
It's not too late, not too late
It's not too late, just close your eyes
[Verse 9]
(Feel) Can't tell if you're happy or sad
Can't tell the good from the bad
(Feel) Maybe stop thinkin' with your head
Start using your heart instead
[Verse 10]
Your heart is cold, your soul is numb, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh, whoa
You've played the game for long enough
Everybody's pullin' you in all directions
