Everybody Told Me

Another day, passing time
Thoughts like clouds drift in my mind
Shadows pass but I stand still
Chasing peace I never feel
Walls close in, I don't retreat
Echoes quiet beneath my feet
Trying to find where I belong
Lost inside this endless song

Shut up, sit down
Listen, don't shout, shout
Breathe in, breathe out
Shut up, sit down
Listen, don't shout, shout
Breathe in, breathe out

Yeah, everybody told me
Nothing ever lasts
I could just stay here forever
Living in the past
Yeah, everybody told me
This is gonna pass
I don't wanna live forever
But forever's all we have

Heavy heart, forgotten dreams
Scars run deep beneath the seams
The smiles I wear never fit
Losing sleep, I just feel sick

Shut up, sit down
Listen, don't shout, shout
Breathe in, breathe out
Shut up, sit down
Listen, don't shout, shout
Breathe in, breathe out

Yeah, everybody told me
Nothing ever lasts
I could just stay here forever
Living in the past
Yeah, everybody told me
This is gonna pass
I don't wanna live forever
But forever's all we have

Told me it'd be fine
(Everybody told me)
(Told me it'd be fine)
(Everybody told me)
Said it's in my mind
(Everybody told me)
(Said it's in my mind)
(Everybody told me)
Told me it'd be fine

(Everybody told me)
(Told me it'd be fine)
(Everybody told me)

Yeah, everybody told me
Nothing ever lasts
I could just stay here forever
Living in the past
Yeah, everybody told me
This is gonna pass
I don't wanna live forever
But forever's all we have

Yeah, everybody told me
Yeah, everybody told me
Yeah, everybody told me
Everybody told me
