Lyrics

[Verse 1] Pain is a gift within reason and when things end You know it feels like a little death I'm here in the rift and even though I know That I don't suffer half as much Who am I to judge the pain I've been in? [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause losing makes room for a new bloom I thought you would protect me But I don't need your protection anymore [Chorus] I don't want a hiding place I just wanna feel whatever comes my way Even from a heartbreak like an earthquake Let it lay me out I just wanna learn from big mistakes Instead of fearing everything and staying the same Even from a bad day like a tidal wave Let it take me down [Verse 2] I'm tryin' to shut it out But selective numbing's about as possible As tryin' not to blink not to think about the one thing on your mind Around and around, we'll go running in circles Trying' to keep the spiral from caving in To say everything's fine [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause losing makes room for a new bloom I thought you would protect me But I don't need your protection anymore [Chorus] I don't want a hiding place I just wanna feel whatever comes my way Even from a heartbreak like an earthquake Let it lay me out I just wanna learn from big mistakes Instead of fearing everything and staying the same Even from a bad day like a tidal wave Let it take me down [Bridge] Don't protect me Don't want protection anymore Let it wreck me Take something with me from the floor [Chorus] I don't want a hiding place I just wanna feel whatever comes my way Even from a heartbreak like an earthquake Let it lay me out
