Don't place your bets on me I'm tired and I'm lonely With nothing to offer you With nothing to offer you
The pavement stares, gray and cold Our lives are a story told Coming to an ending It's coming to an ending
How could I Turn around Face the sound of the bell that chimes? Ringing out Shrill and loud To drag me back down But I'm not coming home
Been out here for so long The road, it just stretches on Til I stop pretending Til I stop pretending
But the world is an empty frame And now you are just a name I'll keep it that way It's staying that way
How could I Turn around Face the sound of the bell that chimes? Ringing out Shrill and loud To drag me back down But I'm not coming home
I tried hard to be brave I tried hard not to be Afraid but trying wasn't enough
I tried hard to be brave I tried hard not to be Afraid but trying wasn't enough
I'm sorry I'm sorry Can you hear the bell? Can you hear the bell? The bell, the bell Can you hear the bell? Can you hear the bell? The bell, the bell
From the rust that lies deep in its throat I hear the solemn, monotone notes The danger, the ebbs and the flows In the silence at night It lets me know that I'm not coming home
