There's no light where it seems
And the silly street lamps,
they are bathing the streets
oh, they will never be clean
it looks red and sore tonight
It's those tall buildings
These new places brought me new weather
I thought I could make it home
I thought I could get better
I'm only strong as the skin around me
oh, I don't miss it at all
I just miss the picture and hate the frame
And I sink into this carpet
In these four walls, two walls
And I'm hopelessly optimistic
Every time my parents call I say yes,
Yes, the streets are paved in gold
And I thought I could make it home
I thought I could get better
But I'm only strong as the skin around me
I was so wrong, it scattered
The wind ran out of my body
I'm empty, you can't take anymore
I'm gonna steal, I'm gonna steal
I'm gonna wrap it around my heart,
And I'll make it a little more affordable
A broken heart's not affordable
Oh, I thought I could make it, oh,
I thought I could get back
it scattered the wind right at my body
I'm empty, you can't take anymore
