Weight of a word

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It looks like I'm running out of time So I'll set fire to my bridges and close my eyes And bury my head in the sand I don't care what it meant Cos it's come to a head and I don't like What I'm seeing unfold in front of my eyes You let the weight of a word off of your chest And you shook it off without a second thought Cos you couldn't care less for another man's life [Chorus] And I waited there For some semblance of a warning That it wasn't worth the cost I know we've gained a lot since then But was it worth all that we lost Looking back right through the hourglass As the sand keeps falling down We're growing past our youth this time Without a clue for where we can go now [Verse 2] It looks like I'm running out of time I can't control when I slip back out of line And the cards on the table don't hold any more tricks I guess it's back to the drawing board and it's back to that night But I keep thinking I'm over this sleight of mind Can't help but feel I'm above it and I'm fed up of trying To find some sense of a normal life under this roof Cos it fell right through while I waited there [Chorus] For some semblance of a warning That it wasn't worth the cost I know we've gained a lot since then But was it worth all that we lost Looking back right through the hourglass As the sand keeps falling down We're growing past our youth this time Without a clue for where we can go now
