Sidelines Lyrics

Call me nothing short of optimistic

I really thought this time things would be different

So how did i end up in the same place as before?

Head hangs low everywhere i go

Big cities, small towns, dive bar row

Every night and every morning i am somehow on the floor

So do what he would always want

You could never call me up

And i'm a fucking zombie cause its how i feel

Find myself in absence of validation

Though i'm sure i'm not the only person struggling lately

Whats out of sight and out of mind certainly can't hurt me, anymore

I ignored every sight of adventures, late nights

Enjoyed by my old friends as they lived their life

My tactic to protect myself has backfired like a war

As i sit in the sidelines i wonder when my time

Will come or will it simply be up?

I follow the night lights with tears swelled in my eyes

So beautiful but i still prefer the dark
