I have been standing in the cold
And breathing smoke, and losing sleep

How unoriginal, I'm on the run eternally
And I'm an expert at forever goodbyes
It's getting old and I'm getting so tired

Maybe I can break off the cast if I move fast, outrun this feeling
Maybe I can paint it all black, never look back
Give me one reason
Why I should stay, stay
Why I should stay, stay

I'll drown myself in doubt until I've lost my sanity
What if I never change and you're the one that has to bleed?
And for the first time I don't want you eclipsed

(Oh)

Maybe I can break off the cast if I move fast, outrun this feeling
Maybe I can paint it all black, never look back
Give me one reason
Why I should stay, stay
Why I should stay, stay

Break off the cast if I move fast
Hmm (mayble I can)
Paint it all black, never look back

Does it ever cross your mind
I don't want to run this time?
Give me one good reason why
Oh, why, I, I
Why I should stay, stay
Why I should stay, stay
