Lyrics
0:13Pain is a gift within reason
0:16And when things end you know
0:19It feels like a little death
0:25I'm here in the rift and even though I know
0:30That I don't suffer half as much
0:33Who am I to judge the pain I've been in
0:38'Cause losing makes room for a new bloom
0:45I thought you would protect me
0:48But I don't need your protection anymore
0:53I don't want a hiding place
0:55I just wanna feel whatever comes my way
0:58Even from a heartbreak like an earthquake
1:02Let it lay me out
1:05I just wanna learn from big mistakes
1:08Instead of fearing everything and staying the same
1:11Even from a bad day like a tidal wave
1:15Let it take me down
1:20I'm tryin' to shut it out
1:23But selective numbin's about as possible
1:27As tryin' not to blink not to think
1:30About the one thing on your mind
1:34Around and around we'll go running in circles
1:40Trying' to keep the spiral from caving in
1:44To say everything's fine
1:47'Cause losing makes room for a new bloom
1:54I thought you would protect me
1:57But I don't need your protection anymore
2:01I don't want a hiding place
2:04I just wanna feel whatever comes my way
2:07Even from a heartbreak like an earthquake
2:10Let it lay me out
2:13I just wanna learn from big mistakes
2:17Instead of fearing everything and staying the same
2:20Even from a bad day like a tidal wave
2:23Let it take me down
2:29Don't protect me
2:32Don't want protection anymore
2:35Let it wreck me
2:38Take something with me from the floor
2:49I don't want a hiding place
2:51I just wanna feel whatever comes my way
2:54Even from a heartbreak like an earthquake
2:57Let it lay me out
Pain is a gift within reason And when things end you know It feels like a little death I'm here in the rift and even though I know That I don't suffer half as much Who am I to judge the pain I've been in 'Cause losing makes room for a new bloom I thought you would protect me But I don't need your protection anymore I don't want a hiding place I just wanna feel whatever comes my way Even from a heartbreak like an earthquake Let it lay me out I just wanna learn from big mistakes Instead of fearing everything and staying the same Even from a bad day like a tidal wave Let it take me down I'm tryin' to shut it out But selective numbin's about as possible As tryin' not to blink not to think About the one thing on your mind Around and around we'll go running in circles Trying' to keep the spiral from caving in To say everything's fine 'Cause losing makes room for a new bloom I thought you would protect me But I don't need your protection anymore I don't want a hiding place I just wanna feel whatever comes my way Even from a heartbreak like an earthquake Let it lay me out I just wanna learn from big mistakes Instead of fearing everything and staying the same Even from a bad day like a tidal wave Let it take me down Don't protect me Don't want protection anymore Let it wreck me Take something with me from the floor I don't want a hiding place I just wanna feel whatever comes my way Even from a heartbreak like an earthquake Let it lay me out
