All alone and your floating through the days and you're not quite sure which way to go
Years go by and you try to do what's best for you but the cards just don't line up
Take your time with the love you had in mind but you feel afraid that you'll mess up
I guess I'll be the scapegoat
Catching all, a thousand tiny cuts
Pain and solace, I feel it on the inside
Catching all, a thousand tiny cuts
Don't freeze up, it's ok to be into the deep end
We'll never know, the sun doesn't shine till it wants to
We're all losing, by a foot or a yard or a hundred miles
You hate to swim and it's hard to admit when you're drowning
You got the job but you don't know what it means to you when you're walking out the door
Lets be real if you'll ever get the chance to be who you are inside your head, before you're dead
I guess I'll be the scapegoat
Catching all, a thousand tiny cuts
Pain and solace, I feel it on the inside
Catching all, a thousand tiny cuts
Don't freeze up, it's ok to be into the deep end
We'll never know, the sun doesn't shine till it wants to
We're all losing, by a foot or a yard or a hundred miles
You hate to swim and it's hard to admit when you're drowning
Before you're dead
Before you're dead
Before you're dead
