[Intro]

When you're coping, and your so caught up in your own loop of self-pity, then what winds up happening is you're not attuned to what the environment needs

You're st-t-t-t-tuck in your head. And being like "I-I'm just really stifled. And I'm embarrassed. And I don't know how I look right now."

Your fucking heart's pounding. It's weird, and creepy, and pathetic, and needy, and just wrong as fuck

It's gotta stop


[Verse 1]

No, no, no

Tonight, I'm a knight and I put my guard down

Tonight, I take off all the padded armor

Would have you had told me that I

Want to need you? Not about to dream of loving

I don't need to be coming

Back to my home

With a princess this our kingdom


[Hook]

For Independence Day, I want to be alone

Cause I may never feel the way I used to feel

Without your love. I don't know

I don't know, I don't know at all

Why separation has a cost

I guess to change that cause is lost

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa


[Solo]

(alone, alone)

(your love, your love)

(I don't know, I don't know, oh)


[Verse 2]

Tonight I could die but the stairway's closing

Tonight I would expect whatever hope brings

But I don't even hope you would leave me alone

Colder than white winter snow

I'm not about to be breaking away from the sky

But how don't I flake when I can't

Stick between you and I?


[Solo + Sniffles]

(alone, alone)

(your love, your love)

(I don't know, I don't know, oh)

(la, la, la, la)


[Hook + Outro]

1. What feels good to your spirit - what makes you happy and alive, but

2. What scared you a little bit. Maybe you couldn't sleep that night before you went to do it because you know that you're gonna hit a next level and it scares you to grow. And when you push through that, the fulfillment that you're gonna see on the other side of it will blow your fucking mind
