It's been quiet in my mind, now I'm paranoid
It's just a matter of time before it's making noise
It's like an hourglass I can't turn over
And when it's out, it comes down like a mortar
I know you think I'm always in control
But it's hard for me to let things go
There's nothing left to talk about
Now you got me thinking how
I've been getting bad news, all night
Swinging in a safe place, that's where I try
You'll never get a chance to rewind
You say that you care but don't
I need an antidote
When safe and sound comes burning down
I've been getting bad news, all night
Letting go of high hopes that just died (die)

You seem to love it when you drag me down
You're concrete on my feet, I drown
Yeah, breathing's kinda hard
'Cause I'm sinking in the dark
And you're not gonna pull me out
I know you think I'm always in control
But it's hard for me to let things go
There's nothing left to talk about
Now you got me thinking how
I've been getting bad news, all night
Swinging in a safe place, that's where I try
You'll never get a chance to rewind
You say that you care but don't
I need an antidote
When safe and sound comes burning down
I've been getting bad news, all night
Letting go of high hopes that just died
I'm watching where I walk
Dodging every aftershock from the heavy steps you take
I'll separate
I need a victory
♪
Far and away from where I want to be
Far and away from the shelter I seek
Far and away from the fresh air to breathe
Everything that's sacred to me is just out of arms reach
When safe and sound comes burning down
I've been getting bad news, all night
Letting go of high hopes
I've been getting bad news, all night
Swinging in a safe place, that's where I try
You'll never get a chance to rewind
You say that you care but don't
I need an antidote
When safe and sound comes burning down
I've been getting bad news (bad news), all night (all night)
Letting go of high hopes that just died (die!)
