Shift

You settle for the things that you don’t want
You said it was your weakness
You said to wait for things to work out
Soon things will work out
You’re searching for an easy way around
You’re searching for the way out
You’re asking why I’m so uncertain
Soon things will work out
Writing on the wall
Is glowing like a flash of neon
Wind changing direction
Everywhere that we go
We never stop
I never thought
We’d cause each other this pain
Giving it all, the blood we draw
Comes from only dead veins
Look at the signs
The end is now
Shift into the next phase
Giving this up for something more
Don’t we deserve something more?
I settled for the thing I couldn’t keep
And now I’m in a wasteland
You said I knew how things would turn out
Things wouldn’t turn out
You’re searching for the thing you’ll never have
You’re searching for a way back
Now you know why I’m so certain
Things wouldn’t work out
Time to break away
And feel the pulse of a new lover
Time that we stop hiding
From the truth that we know
We never stop
I never thought
We’d cause each other this pain
Giving it all, the blood we draw
Comes from only dead veins
Look at the signs, the end is now
Shift into the next phase
Giving this up for something more
Don’t we deserve something more?
