It's 4 a.m. and I'm wide awake   Waiting for my thoughts to fade   A flickering of all of my mistakes   And as the light starts creeping in   I slowly feel   The day I'm missing   But I wouldn't even know where to begin     Do I push to hard?  Or fall to fast?   The moment never seems to last   Will I stop long enough to know    Everybody burns  And when it starts to hurt,  I cry   I feel it in my veins   I just can't walk away,  This time     Your words circle in my head   Weigh so heavy on my chest   And I'm crushed by your expectation   I only want to do some good   Too dumb to know if I could   And I just wanna feel the days I'm in     Do I go to far,  Not far enough?   Why can't I keep my big mouth shut?   And do we lead the life that we should?     Everybody burns  And when it starts to hurt,  I cry   I feel it in my veins   I just can't walk away,  This time     Did I say to much again?   I'm just a girl in a panic  If I tell you my truth  Am I getting through?   It just seems I should confess   Who am I to pretend   This is more than I can carry     Everybody burns  And when it starts to hurt,  I cry   I hold my head up high   I know I'll be alright  This time   I feel it in my veins   I just can't walk away  This time   This time,  This time   This time,  This time     It's 4 am and I'm wide awake   Waiting for my thoughts to fade   It's times like these I see your face
