dead by dawn

That poison on your lips I'm missing

Can't even stand this distance

People looking through the window they can't even mind their business

I've been wishing for my dreams they need fulfilling

And whenever I'm alone, baby know I need a minute

To go and think out my thoughts

I got a lot on my heart

And I don't know how to play the part

Oh

I've never known why or-or-or which way to go

Looking up in the sky, I-I-I see you float

See the gun into my sight, it-it-it's about to blow

In my head, I think it's right, but-but-but I think I know

I know that I shouldn't do it

All of my hard work it's ruined

You see my face up in the sun

When I wake up I just run and you know that I'll be

I'll be dead by dawn

I'll be dead by dawn

I'll be dead by dawn

I'll be dead by dawn

Yeah

Gotta get up and find my roots (oh)

Can't find a way to hide these bruises (oh)

Running away from my excuse (oh)

Stare in the dark and you might lose it (oh)

Oh I gotta get out of my house

Turn off the lights, and go outside where I can shout

Don't know what's right until I may get my own

And at my funeral, I won't be in my grave

I'll-I'll be dead by dawn

I'll be dead by dawn

I'll be dead by dawn

I'll be dead by dawn
