lyrics
So I started to run
To sort out my right from wrong
There's got to be a different way than this
Way back when it began
The history effect was strong
With some choice I had it gave me too much to think
I know I'll never want to let it go
Without it all I'd never know how to know
I'm giving it all back for free
What I had to hold for you is not for me
W'll place it all down so carefully
Let's look at it a while let it be
There are reasons a-plenty
Still sometimes I feel I'm empty
Of the things that gave me purpose and desire
I don't need to be anything other
Still trying hard to discover
The missing parts that make it seem worthwhile
Too earnest, I can't seem to let it go
Without it all I'll never know
Sometimes it comes back
It tricks you, the disease
It finds a way
Impossible to please
I'm holding ground
Giving it back for free
To sort out my right from wrong
There's got to be a different way than this
Way back when it began
The history effect was strong
With some choice I had it gave me too much to think
I know I'll never want to let it go
Without it all I'd never know how to know
I'm giving it all back for free
What I had to hold for you is not for me
W'll place it all down so carefully
Let's look at it a while let it be
There are reasons a-plenty
Still sometimes I feel I'm empty
Of the things that gave me purpose and desire
I don't need to be anything other
Still trying hard to discover
The missing parts that make it seem worthwhile
Too earnest, I can't seem to let it go
Without it all I'll never know
Sometimes it comes back
It tricks you, the disease
It finds a way
Impossible to please
I'm holding ground
Giving it back for free
