Over Lyrics by Defences

Thoughts That Keep You Awake

2019

[Verse 1: Cherry Duesbury & William Alex Young]
Waking up, don't worry
I'll take it back, I'm sorry
Going back and forth in my mind
What I said, what you did
How was this our story?
Pages ripped out of the seams
We can't rewrite history

[Chorus: Cherry Duesbury & William Alex Young]
This is my reality
Keeping me from going over
When I'm sitting on the edge
Damage done, now you're gone
I could follow but I'm keeping
All the feeling I have left
All the feeling I have left

[Verse 2: William Alex Young]
Shut out, I felt so hollow
But now I'm back on solid ground
There is nothing you can say to me, so save it, please
It's not how things were meant to be
Searching for someone to use
But I couldn't take the abuse
I'll have to politely refuse
The way you were choosing to build me up to cut me loose
There is nothing you can say to me
This is not how things were meant to be

[Chorus: Cherry Duesbury & William Alex Young]
This is my reality
Keeping me from going over
When I'm sitting on the edge
Damage done, now you're gone
I could follow but I'm keeping
All the feeling I have left
All the feeling I have left

[Bridge: Cherry Duesbury & William Alex Young]
Begging and pleading for somewhere to go
But I should have known that all this time I was alone
There is nothing you can say to me
This is not how things were meant to be
You live in the greyest room
A thousand markings on the wall
We are not the lucky ones
Who've never been there at all
I know that place like the back of my hand
But I won't ever call it my home
And now you wanna hold it against me
Now that you're gone I can see

[Chorus: Cherry Duesbury & William Alex Young]
This is my reality
Keeping me from going over
When I'm sitting on the edge
Damage done, now you're gone
I could follow but I'm keeping
All the feeling I have left
All the feeling I have left
All the feeling I have left
All the feeling I have left
