lean against the night and laugh

as I try to scale the wall

ignored futility fills the air

you're only there to watch me fall

watch me fall

watch me

chorus:

if only pure sweetness was offered

why's this bitter taste left in my mouth

if I could catch my breath

just to exhale

I'd know that I held it in too long

from above comes a faint smile

a new vantage, such a view

familiarity, now disowned

just sit and stare, as I walk away

walk away

watch me

chorus

...

chorus

if only pure sweetness was offered (the
bitterness)

why's this bitter taste left in my mouth (pure
sweetness)

if I could catch my breath (my breath)

just to exhale

I'd know that I held it in too long
