lyrics

Waking up in the afternoon
Should I go to bed or is it too soon
'Cause if the day doesn't hold much promise
Why should I waste time being honest

Running hard just to catch my breath
Is it a sign of life, the beating in my chest
'Cause all the time spent in the mirror
Doesn't help my eyes see clearer
Pushing back on the ghosts I knew
If I close my eyes will they fade from view
'Cause I've been haunted by their echo
And all the things that I can't let go

I shouldn't have to fight to catch my breath
I only want to put these ghosts to rest
I know it isn't the first time
You're making me feel like second best
I'd break my bones again and again and again
To get this off my chest

Waking up in the afternoon
Should I go to bed if it's not too soon
'Cause I keep searching for the reasons
Anyway to make myself believe them
Holding on by my fingertips
Can I catch myself if I lose my grip
Am I meant to keep on climbing
Or should I give up on surviving
(If I fall)

I shouldn't have to fight to catch my breath
I only want to put these ghosts to rest
I know it isn't the first time
You're making me feel like second best
I'd break my bones again and again and again
To get this off my chest
To get this off my chest

(You can't break me down, down, down)
Is it a sign of life, the beating in my chest
Is it a sign of life, the beating in my chest
Is it a sign of life, the beating in my chest
Is it a sign of life

I shouldn't have to fight to catch my breath
I only want to put these ghosts to rest
I swear this is the last time
You'll make me feel like second best
I'd break my bones again and again and again
To get this off my chest

I only want to put these ghosts to rest
I shouldn't have to feel like second best
I only want to put these ghosts to rest
(Again and again and again)
