Inside, Outside

For the times I held you close
For the reasons I can't cope
Fool me once
Don't fool me twice
All the roads I could have chose
Walked the line that hurt the most
I keep telling me...
I'm fine

No I'm not
I've barely touched ground
On my way
Till I'm safe and sound

I pick up the pieces, building slow
'Cause when I am vulnerable it shows
Inside
Outside
It's better to love and to have lost
So I live to win no matter cost
It hurts
This time
Like counting raindrops in the sunshine

Never knew with you around
How the emptiness would sound
I'm drowning in my noisy mind
Falling fast and falling hard
Makes the crash hurt even more
I blame it on my childish heart

I'm not fine
I've barely touched ground
On my way
Till I'm safe and sound

I pick up the pieces, building slow
'Cause when I am vulnerable it shows
Inside
Outside
It's better to love and to have lost
So I live to win no matter cost
It hurts
This time
Like counting raindrops in the sunshine

Like counting raindrops in the sunshine
Like counting raindrops in the sunshine
Like counting raindrops in the sunshine

So I get up and run and run and run
Just to feel free I run, I run, I run
Going fast, going nowhere
Let my hair out and fly and fly and fly
Got to breathe in new air to clear my mind
I'm not dead 'cause I'm lonely
I can feel my blood pumping
I'm alive

I'm alive now but there's so much aching in my heart
No more crying
No more waiting for you...
Waiting for you

I pick up the pieces, building slow
'Cause when I am vulnerable it shows
Inside
Outside
It's better to love and to have lost
So I live to win no matter cost
It hurts
This time

So I get up and run and run and run
Just to feel free I run, I run, I run
Going fast, going nowhere
Let my hair out and fly and fly and fly
Got to breathe in new air to clear my mind
I'm not dead 'cause I'm lonely
This time

That's why I had to write this sad song

Echoes of the aftermath
