Running in Place (Niki Am) - Hawthorne Heights

Dead lights & empty bottles

Another year is hard to swallow

Let’s build this up just to break it down

Let’s build this up just to break it down again

Foreign lands & inner struggles

Your demands have gotten shallow

Let’s build this up just to break it down

Let’s build this up just to break it down again

Cut the cord I can make it on my own

You never mattered anyway

When I lost you I found my place

But I can’t get you from my clothes

I’ll never stand outside your window

Below the soil & the dirt

Are all my friends that have my heart

My families gone & all that’s left

Is this stupid song & a hole in my chest

Well I’m still here & I’m still breathing

This half of my heart is hardly beating

She keeps repeating all that she needed

But I don’t care I like this distance

Cut the cord I can make it on my own

You never mattered anyway

When I lost you I found my place

But I can’t get you from my clothes

I’ll never stand outside your window

Let’s build this up just to break, break, break it down

All my friends are gone & they’re not coming back again

Let’s build this up just to break, break, break it down
