Songwriter: Matt Scannell
I need you to hear me
I want you to feel this
It should be clear as fear and plain as day
I'm not going to bend now
You're not going to break me
You'll never be hard enough to scratch my face
I wanted to feel you
I tried to belong here
With all of the ghosts and faded headlines
But I couldn't read you
You wouldn't let me
You always pull away from the ones you can't define
Are you tired of holding up the sky?
Of teaching birds to fly?
You've done it all your life
Oh baby are you sad, when you see the sun?
'Cause then your not the brightest one
When all is said and done
Yeah honey, all is said and done
I need to move through this
The waiting just kills me
Whatever you do is on you, I'm washed clean
No, don't be alarmed now the story's ending
These aren't open arms, they're just waving you away
Are you tired of holding up the sky?
Of teaching birds to fly?
You've done it all your life
Oh baby are you sad, when you see the sun?
You've never been the brightest one
When all is said and done
Yeah honey, all is said and done
All is said and done
I need you to hear me
I want you to feel this
It should be clear as fear and plain as day
Are you tired of holding up the sky?
Of teaching birds to fly?
You've done it all your life
Oh baby are you sad, when you see the sun?
'Cause then your not the brightest one
When all is said and done
Oh, are you tired, of running for your life?
When there's no one left behind
Just the chaos in your mind
Oh baby are you sad
Each day you greet the sun?
You know you're not the brightest one
When all is said and done
All is said and done
I want you to feel this
It should be clear as fear and plain as day
I'm not going to bend now
You're not going to break me
You'll never be hard enough to scratch my face
I wanted to feel you
I tried to belong here
With all of the ghosts and faded headlines
But I couldn't read you
You wouldn't let me
You always pull away from the ones you can't define
Are you tired of holding up the sky?
Of teaching birds to fly?
You've done it all your life
Oh baby are you sad, when you see the sun?
'Cause then your not the brightest one
When all is said and done
Yeah honey, all is said and done
I need to move through this
The waiting just kills me
Whatever you do is on you, I'm washed clean
No, don't be alarmed now the story's ending
These aren't open arms, they're just waving you away
Are you tired of holding up the sky?
Of teaching birds to fly?
You've done it all your life
Oh baby are you sad, when you see the sun?
You've never been the brightest one
When all is said and done
Yeah honey, all is said and done
All is said and done
I need you to hear me
I want you to feel this
It should be clear as fear and plain as day
Are you tired of holding up the sky?
Of teaching birds to fly?
You've done it all your life
Oh baby are you sad, when you see the sun?
'Cause then your not the brightest one
When all is said and done
Oh, are you tired, of running for your life?
When there's no one left behind
Just the chaos in your mind
Oh baby are you sad
Each day you greet the sun?
You know you're not the brightest one
When all is said and done
All is said and done
