input - square one lyrics
[sample]
we were just kids playin’ in the rain
when you threw a stone
and you broke a window pane
you were so afraid for what you’d done
that i held your hand, little one
and i wouldn’t let you run
[verse 1]
so let me explain exactly why i haven’t let you go
first and foremost, it would have looked unprofessional
i told myself that i would make you top priority
meaning that protection was the main objective, that was sworn to me
i know that you can stand upon your own feet
but sometimes it helps to not live life afraid and lonely
each day that passes helps crеate another memory
and еvery december i think of you and what you did for me
it doesn’t fall into categories of suffering
but more into the lines of teaching me about discovery
the boundaries have been dilapidated naturally
which led me to the center of a developing catastrophe
i did this for you and that’s it
you’re a proven stubborn, this is why you can’t quit
the road that you travel is your personal endeavor
so let’s attack destiny and walk this road together
[chorus]
your life is your life and you live it on your own terms
kicking over obstacles and screaming till your throat burns
it doesn’t matter whom or what attempts to break your stride
you’re stronger than the world, smart enough to stay alive
x2
[sample]
you were so afraid for what you’d done
that i held your hand, little one
and i wouldn’t let you run
[verse 2]
now let me explain that it was not supposed to end in a faulty fashion
how could you ever make amends with a man that was holding back from never moving on
to a better life away from all the things that made this song
and if i knew then, would i have cleared from my confusion
i would put that decision with my new year’s resolutions
never to be seen again or brought to context
in discussion with what we became and we accomplished
the fine line hath been printed on my skeleton
promising to never make you take that trip to h+ll again
i read the art of war and took the crash course
ripped out the articles and renewed the passport
i was the driver, you were the passenger
you were professional, i was an amateur
i took the shortcut, you used your instincts
and never let the anguish penetrate you skin deep
[chorus]
your life is your life and you live it on your own terms
kicking over obstacles and screaming till your throat burns
it doesn’t matter who, no, what attempts to break your stride
you’re stronger than the world, smart enough to stay alive
x2
[sample]
now you’re all grown up and you’re running wild
and they are so surprised, cause all alone you seem like such a sweet child
[verse 3]
there’s nothing left to explain, i know i f+cked up, period
and now i’m back at square one, the bottom of the pyramid
there are no ladders, there is no elevator
i’m walking awkwardly upon a broken escalator
i need a lifeline, a better yet a helping hand
living in denial and disgusted in myself again
writing letters to an unresponsive reader
forgetting how to follow and becoming her own teacher
this never seems to want to reach its destination
pondering a day that it may see some restoration
complaints and constraints of words, thoughts and intercourse
love hates when one waits to pinpoint the troubled source
it’s no surprise that we will not rekindle thoughts
of discovering a new land, our own plymouth rock
i did this to us and that’s that
i accepted defeat and you retained the last laugh
[chorus]
my life is my life and i live it on my own terms
kicking over obstacles and screaming till my throat burns
it doesn’t matter who or what attempts to break my stride
i’m stronger than the world, smart enough to stay alive
x2
