The Confessions of a Hopeless Romantic

from Hello Anxiety by The Burning Lights

/

lyrics

Watch the lights fade in and out
To the beat of my own heart
Insomnia and kerosene
Takes up all the space between these walls
My words are echoing through the halls

I feel so stuck inside my skin
Let out the darkness, let the light back in

Pin myself against the wall
Up all night to hear your call
I just need to fix myself oh
I don't wanna let you down again
I get so lost inside my head

Dancing on a cloud in a nightmare
Riding a Ferris wheel in a cemetery
In my own private sanctuary
Nostalgia is a pretty heavy burden to carry
Keep it cool, stay collected
Pretend my brain is not infected
Confetti lines the driveway
But I'm falling faster like a sinking stone

Tell me all the things you wish I'd change
My heart beats fast and oh so strange
I'm addicted to the mess that is my mind
I don't wanna be alone in the dark or get left behind

Pin myself against the wall
(I'm losing sleep, losing my mind)
Up all night to hear your call
(So damaging, I'm vanishing tonight)
I just need to fix myself oh
I don't wanna let you down again
I get so lost inside my head

Saw the stars burn in the sky
Saw the light in you and I
I won't let you down again
Saw the sun light up your face
Felt the warmth of your embrace
I can't let you down again

Pin myself against the wall
Up all night to hear your call

Pin myself against the wall
(I'm losing sleep, losing my mind)
Up all night to hear your call
(So damaging, I'm vanishing tonight)
I just need to fix myself oh
I don't wanna let you down again
I just need to take control and
Shut out all the voices in my head
Apologies wrapped in misery oh
I don't wanna let you down again
I get so lost inside my head
