Vertical Horizon

I 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 gonna break me
You'll never be hard enough to scratch my face
I wanted to feel you
I tried to belong here
Well all of the ghosts and faded headlines
But I couldn't read you
No you wouldn't let me
You always pull away
From the ones you can't defy
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 you're not the brightest one
When all is said and done
And 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
And 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 you're 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
