Vertical Horizon - Burning The Days

need you to hear me,
I want you to feel this,
It should be clear as fear and plain as day.

I'm not going to bend now,
You're not going to break me,
You'll never be hard enough to scratch my face.

I wanted to feel you,
I tried to belong here,
With all of the ghosts and faded headlines.
But I couldn't read you,
You wouldn't let me,
You always pull away from the ones you can't define.

Are you tired of holding up the sky?
Of teaching birds to fly?
You've done it all your life.

Oh baby are you sad, when you see the sun?
'Cause then your not the brightest one,
When all is said and done,
Yeah honey, all is said and done.

I need to move through this,
The waiting just kills me.
Whatever you do is on you, I'm washed clean.
No, don't be alarmed now the story's ending,
These aren't open arms, they're just waving you away.

Are you tired of holding up the sky?
Of teaching birds to fly?
You've done it all your life.

Oh baby are you sad, when you see the sun?
You've never been the brightest one,
When all is said and done,
Yeah honey, all is said and done.
All is said and done.

I need you to hear me,
I want you to feel this,
It should be clear as fear and plain as day.

Are you tired of holding up the sky?
Of teaching birds to fly?
You've done it all your life.

Oh baby are you sad, when you see the sun?
'Cause then your not the brightest one,
When all is said and done.

Oh, are you tired, of running for your life?
When there's no one left behind,
Just the chaos in your mind.

Oh baby are you sad,
Each day you greet the sun?
You know you're not the brightest one,
When all is said and done.
All is said and done.
