lyrics

My hands start to shake. My ears they start to burn. My stomach feels ill again. But I waste my time, with the things I say.

A love sick anecdote sophomore year I wrote you notes. Something about these empty halls makes me wanna scream "I'm almost home again". Sometimes a cowboy, is just a man in a cowboy suit. Most days I don't feel like either, but what am I to say?

Something deep inside of me know that I am bigger. Swears "I'm bigger". Screams "I'm better than this". Cross my heart and dot the sky, I never found a reason why I never made it out of here you gotta help me out.

I'm getting so much better at knowing my own strengths and knowing my own weaknesses.
