lyrics

Intro:
that familiar lingering feeling
carved into the back of your mind
suspicious, and i pried.
when will i see the day
you wont hold it all inside?

verse 1:
how could you be so oblivious?
the sound of your voice far from convincing
you failed to see how you fell short of inconspicious.

pre chorus:
still got that sour taste in my mouth,
my instinct to drown myself in guilt.
i can't understand why you won't
crush the front you built.

chorus:
do you remember the day you told me
the words you spoke had different meaning?
i felt that swelling in my chest,
and you say i always over react
but maybe my words just never made an impact.
you took them for granted my view was slanted
now i'm level headed once again.

pre verse:
feelings changing like the seasons
refusal to give legitimate reason
no justification for faltered action
constant awareness of your distraction

verse 2:
easy to predict you wouldn't change for the better
can't look in your eyes anymore
i'm always one step ahead of the weather
finished facing the eye of the storm,
but you kept changing your form

chorus:
i cant forget the day you told me
the words you spoke had different meaning?
i felt that swelling in my chest
and you say i always over react
but maybe my words just never made an impact
you took them for granted my view was slanted

breakdown:
I'm level headed once again
