Talk and the leaves will listen
They'll rustle with their answers
I sharpen tools that glisten
Alone without distraction

Reflecting in this hour
On all this pain and anguish
Your words run wild inside me
My brain is not protected

Aware on my own
Despair with you
Aware on my own
Despair with you

Time with you was not spent wisely
I let my ideals roam
Ashamed without forgiveness
I crawl my way back home

Aware on my own
Despair with you

Seated in a crowded theater
I couldn't feel more empty
Your lies flash on the screen
I feel all eyes upon me

This show is not worth watching
I cannot keep from looking
Unnerved by fear of falling
Unnerved by what we had

Aware on my own
Despair with you
