I was up too late last night
Thinking about some things
That shouldn’t matter anymore
At least according to my friends
I just don’t know when to let things end
My father says
I want more than other men
Even if it makes me poor
Refuse to compromise or to comply
Choke on my pride ‘cause it’s my life, I swear
It’s mine, I swear
It’s still my life
I swear, it’s mine
But the echo
Rings loud and hollow
We set sail in different seas
You in belief
And I in melody
Sometimes in memory
It gets too loud when my brain's empty
I’ll drown in the voices that surround me
Placing songs in bottles when they’re empty
It’s been months since we last spoke
And you know, it’s fine with me
If we wait a couple more
I guess things are fine again
I wish you well with your perfect plans
I understand
You wanted more than this man
And the things he can’t afford
It’s not like you were wrong and I was right
Choke on the lie I said that night, I swear
It’s mine, I’ll bear it all my life
I swear, it’s mine
