i've been falling asleep at the wheel
making turns and stops
ending up where i don't want to be
the devil's trying to make me a deal
manufactured happiness
in exchange for the bliss of a changing reality
but i manage to keep saying no
i'd rather learn from my mistakes
and get stronger along the way
so when the time finally comes
i can take the hand of the one i love
without the fear of my own not being warm enough
day after day
try after try
you'd think that it'd get easier for me to ease my mind
but i get too scared
that my actions won't speak enough
and end up fixing unmade mistakes and saying way too much
i've learned to accept
that i'm way out of step
with how the simple things should go
but while i try
to adjust my stride
i can only hope
that my sincerity still shows
when i say that i care
when i say that i'll always be there
i'm not hiding intentions in-between the lines
i've got a heart that's been broken
by countless missteps and dead ends
i'm just trying to keep it stitched together with all the help i can get
