Responsibility and Structure - Trophy Eyes

I ran away

But it saved my life

And the lights outside my window

Help me sleep at night

'Cause when the lights go out

It all comes crashing in

Just how lucky I am

To still be breathing in

And the footsteps as I walk towards my front door

The key slips

The lock scratched

The sound so familiar

'Cause I traded in my jacket

For a newfound sense of freedom

'Cause winters, they don’t

Scare me like the used to anymore

And I sold my guitar

'Cause I don’t really write so much anymore

And I’ve kind of grown accustomed

To the noises in my head

I gave up searching

I think I’m happy with who I am

Even though I chewed up

And spat out my family and friends

I’ve still got my whole life

To make it up and make amends

I know it’s not much to you

But maybe you could understand

I breathe in

This city

And look at what I’ve started

I think I’ve spent enough hours

Killing myself

Over what I thought you saw in me

And when I leave

I try to keep it off my mind

That the rain back home

Swallowed all I left behind

I gave up searching

I think I’m happy with who I am

Even though I chewed up

And spat out my family and friends

I’ve still got my whole life

To make it up and make amends

I know it’s not much to you

But maybe you could understand

I ran away

But it saved my life

The lights outside my window

Help me sleep at night

It’s like I’m standing on the edge of a life to be

And whatever happens next was always up to me

No longer will I compare myself

To establish my self worth
