Cost of comfort

and so they say it's time like these,
where silence can mean everything (and nothing).
and i'm pleading with my heart,
into this empty glass for reasons,
trying to get myself away from...

you say you don't believe,
but i know exactly what you're thinking.

screams so familiar,
one of a million,
it's time that we move on.

why do we always think,
we need to sell ourselves the dream,
that love is all we need?
romance causes ignorance.
we're selling out,
selling ourselves short.

i never said that i would wait for you,
wait for you to save yourself.
but i want you to know,
i'm not as strong as i thought i was
and the thought of you keeps ringing in my ear,
ringing in, in my ear.

i know you won't believe,
but i can still see through you...
was it worth this?

life in motion,
slowing down in our wake,
we're all alone.
