fainter

I haven't changed my sheets
Since the day you left me
Too scared to do anything
I'm so sick of hating my body
Track my meals, can't track you down
I dig my heels into some new ground
'Cause I'm not turning around
To face all the things I've lost
It's a hard line to cross

So I take it slow
They told me, "Life is short"
But they were wrong
So I take it slow
They told me, "Life is short"
But they were wrong
I know now life is long

Bruises on both my knees
But no one here is listening
Too tired to believe in change
I'm locked up on all of my bad days
Break the cage, take one last view
I know that pain can never feel new
If I keep looking at you
If there's one thing I've learned from loss
You can make it worse watching the clock

So I take it slow
They told me, "Life is short"
But they were wrong
So I take it slow
They told me, "Life is short"
But they were wrong
I know now life is long
