Song Search

35mm

by Slow and Steady

on In Time We Belong (2015)

I write this song every six months or so, I only change the tune
I always knew that it would come crashing through, I never thought it would be so soon

I've done things that I wish I could take back
I've promised the world when nothing I had could ever amount to that

So hell-bent on keeping my bridges unburned, I cried "love" so many times that I don't believe myself when I say "I found the wolf."
I let her rip the flesh from my bones

I've done things that I wish I could take back
I've promised the world when nothing I had could ever amount to that
Where are you now that I'm alone in my room, screaming out loud; begging for some hint of the truth?

Nothing can be done to change the past
All those nights I spent, I can't get back
Dresser drawers full of photographs
And all those times I used to try to make you laugh. While you were staring at your phone, making sure your bed stayed full every night when you turn out the light

I've done things that I wish I could take back
I promised the world when nothing I had could ever amount to that

You rewrote the book so you could come out on top
Take it off of your shelf, and read it in your coffee shop
I knew all along that you were lying to me. I held on so long, I just wanted to believe
Where are you now that I'm alone in my room, screaming out loud; begging for some hint of the truth?
