You build a heart that's strong
Walls to last long
It's paper mache
You think the battle's won
No use for shields and guns
You'll need them now
That the lump
Takes a home in your throat
With the words that you're
Choking as you try
To tell yourself it's okay
Flying by, time to gaze
But never face
You're stuck in the moment
When you thought you were rolling
But you can't move on
You feel like you're able
To love past the moment
But you can't move on
Asking why
Asking why
Why I can't move on
You can't go, please stay
No, don't stay, go away
I'm left, I'm right, I'm black, I'm white
You ride a carousel
Round and round till
The sickness grows inside
That the lump
Takes a strangling hold
Squeezes tight till you're
Cold and tears run dry
And where you once were warm
Now is tattered and
Torn, crumbles and fades
You're stuck in the moment
When you thought you were rolling
But you can't move on
You feel like you're able
To love past the moment
But you can't move on
Asking why
Asking why
Why I can't move on
In complete hysteria
Typical reaction
I can't get
Over, over
Over you
This is how the story goes
Glory in the moment
No, won't let you go
No, won't let
You can't move on
Can't move on
Oh, I can't move on
You're stuck in the moment
When you thought you were rolling
But you can't move on
You feel like you're able
To love past the moment
But you can't move on
Asking why
Asking why
Why I can't move on
Asking why
Asking why
Why I can't move on
Asking why
Asking why
Why I can't move on
Asking why
Asking why
Why I can't move on
