Suddenly I see myself returning

 To the scene where I was ridden of this crime

Looking at the outline of the chalk drawn on the street

 I left so much behind here that the silhouette was me

I never thought that we were miserable

 But how can two be only in it for themselves?

There is nothing left to say, I've swallowed my tongue anyway

 Driving out into another state, I can see the road behind me

Falling back into the same mistake, so hard to avoid

Never will the smallest voice again be silent,

 yours to destroy

Panic followed blindly by depression

 When the roads become the buildings in your mind

Moving up the elevator to floor sixty-three

 A metaphor? Yes that is right I still cannot be free

On the roof I start to realize

 I may not have a hope at least I have this view

Apologies for what's been said, half of which was in my head

 Driving out into another state, I can see the road behind me

Falling back into the same mistake, so hard to avoid

Never will the smallest voice again be silent,

 yours to destroy

Solo

And if I have to follow you, you will not rip this heart of mine in two

 You cannot break this chain

 But you can build a wall to shut me out if you so choose

I know that I have come and gone, but I can't keep pulling myself away

 A noose around my neck

 I walk around the city as the night becomes the day

 And if you come around I may just not be found
