lyrics

When we met, I didn’t say
if you steal my heart, I’ll steal away
if you steal my heart, I’ll steal away

And when we talk, I’d never say
You steal my heart and I’ll steal away
or though you need me here I’ll turn away

Can’t really steel my nerves, but I won’t be fazed

I have a hard time taking space
Once proud of my capacity for pain
now I just feel paralyzed and drained

But a part of me I keep tucked away
tells me even I’m not stuck in place
I’ve been saving up for the rainy days-
like today- like today- like today- like today-

So I still refuse to turn away

My sense of ease, that’s a risk I’ll take,
and I’ll choose this that I can’t escape
and I’ll turn to art
I might stay up late- I might fall apart- I might drop away- that might be okay-

But what use are risks I say I’ll take,
If in the end, I turn away?- no, no, no, no-
I’ll never steel my nerves, but I won’t be fazed-

Cause there’s no time to squander, no time to waste
