Half Measures

Oh, that curb was yours for the moment
Alone, looking back at growing up
And the choices that led you here
The attention brings quite the excitement
But commotion will come to peace
And all you’ll find left is fear
We had your back
Ooh, your mistake was giving up on yourself
And now, here you will stay for your crimes committed
You will receive everything
The words on the screen read «indicted»
The picture’s a broken scene
How tough love feels, it’s what you need
All these removed and reminded
Of a time when this wasn’t me
And we were still the best of friends
I hope you’ll be okay
But your big mistake was giving up on everyone
And now, here you will stay for your crimes committed
You will receive everything
A new world inside, where cold walls feel comfortable
Where straight lines don’t curve
And oh, in the time you’re gone, your cell’s forgotten
Remember this: you are missed
We gave our strength, and now we have no choice
The bird’s flown the coop and broke his singing voice
We can’t wait for you to change, we tried
So, until that day
Goodbye
The time on the bus will remind you
Of what you had and how you lost it all
But you can’t say it wasn’t your fault
Cause your big mistake was giving up on everyone
And now here you will stay for your crimes committed
You will receive everything
A new world in sight, where cold walls feel comfortable
Where straight lines don’t curve
In the time you’re gone, your song forgotten
Remember this: you are missed
You are missed
