Divided in Two (lyrics)
every waking moment i've been thinking about what to do and this heat is making me colder and my weary head is getting olderit's true i don't know what i want i'm going to leave it's best for us all i started the fire i need to let it out before it destroys what i'm all aboutand i'm looking for a feeling that isn't there anymore i don't think you can change the way any heart wants to goit's true i don't know what i want i'm leaving my heart divided in two i started a fire i need to let it out before it consumes every shadow of a doubtyes it's true i don't know what i want i'm leaving my heart divided in two i started the fire and now i have to leave before it consumes every part of me
