Lyrics Trophy Eyes – Responsibility And Structure
Text:
I ran away,
But it saved my life.
And the lights outside my window,
Help me sleep at night.
It all comes crashing in.
Just how lucky I am,
To still be breathing in.
And the footsteps as I walk towards my front door.
The key slips, the lock scratched, the sound so familiar.
Cause I traded in my jacket,
For a newfound sense of freedom,
‘Cause winters, they don’t,
Scare me like they used to anymore.
And I sold my guitar,
‘Cause I don’t really write so much anymore.
And I’ve kind of grown accustomed,
To all the noises in my head.
I gave up searching,
I think I’m happy with who I am.
Even though I chewed up,
And spat out my family and friends.
I’ve still got my whole life,
To make it up and make amends.
I know it’s not much to you,
But maybe you could understand.
I breathe in,
This city.
And look at what I’ve started,
I think I’ve spent enough hours,
Over what I thought you saw in me.
And when I leave,
I try to keep it off my mind.
That the rains back home,
Swallowed all I left behind.
I gave up searching,
I think I’m happy with who I am.
Even though I chewed up,
And spat out my family and friends.
I’ve still got my whole life,
To make it up and make amends.
I know it’s not much to you,
But maybe you could understand.
I ran away,
But it saved my life.
And the lights outside my window,
Help me sleep at night.
It’s like I’m standing on the edge of a life to be,
And whatever happens next was always up to me.
No longer will I compare myself,
To establish my self-worth.
