You build a heart that's strong Walls to last long It's paper mache You think the battle's won No use for shields and guns You'll need them now That the lump Takes a home in your throat With the words that you're Choking as you try To tell yourself it's okay Flying by, time to gaze But never face You're stuck in the moment When you thought you were rolling But you can't move on You feel like you're able To love past the moment But you can't move on Asking why Asking why Why I can't move on You can't go, please stay No, don't stay, go away I'm left, I'm right, I'm black, I'm white You ride a carousel Round and round till The sickness grows inside That the lump Takes a strangling hold Squeezes tight till you're Cold and tears run dry And where you once were warm Now is tattered and Torn, crumbles and fades You're stuck in the moment When you thought you were rolling But you can't move on You feel like you're able To love past the moment But you can't move on Asking why Asking why Why I can't move on In complete hysteria Typical reaction I can't get Over, over Over you This is how the story goes Glory in the moment No, won't let you go No, won't let You can't move on Can't move on Oh, I can't move on You're stuck in the moment When you thought you were rolling But you can't move on You feel like you're able To love past the moment But you can't move on Asking why Asking why Why I can't move on Asking why Asking why Why I can't move on Asking why Asking why Why I can't move on Asking why Asking why Why I can't move on
