I'm the setting sun behind the trees

The saddest one you've seen

I've been burning holes

And breaking dreams, and I regret it

I'm fixing things I've broken

It's not as easy as it used to be

I'm throwing temper tantrums

I used to settle, but now I make a scene

You can't believe

I said I'd never walk away but I'm not able to stay

I said I'd never leave this place but I can't stay here

To watch you fade and watch you change

Into someone I can't face, I can't replace, I can't replace you

You're the swirling wind above the sea

The maddest storm they've seen

Now you're breaking waves and smashing dreams

And you can't help it

You're drowning streets and stranding a million people

You're starting out with me

You're crashing down from anger, your stuff is settled

And now you're sound asleep

And so serene

I said I'd never walk away but I'm not able to stay

I said I'd never leave this place but I can't stay here

To watch you fade and watch you change

Into someone I can't face, I can't replace, I can't replace you

And when the sun is down, and when the skies are calm

You'll see, calm will be

We'll wait for the cycle, we'll repeat our same mistakes

Same mistakes we've always made

I said I'd never walk away, but I'm not able to stay

I said I'd never leave this place, but I can't stay here

To watch you fade and watch you change

Into someone I can't face, I can't replace, I can't replace you

I said I'd never walk away, but I'm not able to stay

I said I'd never leave this place, but I can't stay here

To watch you fade and watch you change

Into someone I can't face, I can't replace, I can't replace you

I said I'd never walk away
