Ruminations Lyrics

When it's all been said and done

And the crowd's already gone

Was I being who I am when I was alone

As I lie awake in bed

All that's running through my head

Are the beautiful regrets of things that I've said

Everyone's being someone else

Someone that's clearly not themselves

People are so afraid to show their real self

You taught me to read between the lines

But now I'm so lost in reading signs

Can't seem to stop myself from overthinking

Bout how

I used to think that I had figured out

The way to laugh and getting over

The fears and worries of myself

But I'm now no longer sure

Every thought leads to hesitation

Full of ruminations

All this time has left me nothing but a broken heart inside

You were the reason I could make it home

I kept the words I couldn't swallow

It's hard to say that I was wrong

You were there to make me whole

Give a smile with no definition

Full of ruminations

Now I'm left alone with nothing left to hold

What do I do to read the room

What are the things I should assume

Am I the bad guy if I don't know all the rules

Watching the hours passing by

End of the day and through the night

I don't know what it is that keeps me going

But I

I used to think that I had figured out

The way to laugh and getting over

The fears and worries of myself

But I'm now no longer sure

Every thought leads to hesitation

Full of ruminations

All this time has left me nothing but a broken heart inside

You were the reason I could make it home

I kept the words I couldn't swallow

It's hard to say that I was wrong

You were there to make me whole

Give a smile with no definition

Full of ruminations

Now I'm left alone with nothing left to hold
