"Face The World" lyrics

"Face The World"

I wanted to fail
I wanted to try
I wanted to face the world outside
I wanted to get out of my mind
If I could have only kept alive

Darlin, I think you're tellin me something
But you're not cutting through with these thoughts too loud to sleep
Oh falling, you're falling over me, falling
But I'm a wreckloose mess
With a heart too cold to keep

And all the time we spent at night
Hoping that we'd be alright
I bore the cost of saving face
Til it came to light

I wanted to fail
I wanted to try
I wanted to face the world outside
I wanted to get out of my mind
If I could have only kept alive

I wanted to fail
I wanted to try
I wanted to face the world outside
I wanted to get out of my mind
If I could have only kept alive

Darlin, I owe you honesty, Darlin'
But we're both choking back
From a pill too tough to take

And now you're balling your eyes out
And I can't believe that I'm stalling
But there's a light to this tunnel and you deserve every ray

And all the time we spent at night
Hoping that we'd be alright
I bore the cost of saving face
Til it came to light

I wanted to fail
I wanted to try
I wanted to face the world outside
I wanted to get out of my mind
If I could have only kept alive

I wanted to fail
I wanted to try
I wanted to face the world outside
I wanted to get out of my mind
If I could have only kept alive

I wanted to fail
I wanted to try
I wanted to face the world outside
I wanted to get out of my mind
If I could have only kept alive

I wanted to fail
I wanted to try
I wanted to face the world outside
I wanted to get out of my mind
If I could have only kept alive

I wanted to fail
I wanted to try
I wanted to face the world outside
I wanted to get out of my mind
If I could have only kept alive

I wanted to fail
I wanted to try
I wanted to face the world outside
I wanted to get out of my mind
If I could have only kept alive
