Lyrics Running in Place (Niki Am) - Hawthorne Heights

Running in Place (Niki Am)

Dead lights & empty bottles
Another year is hard to swallow
Let’s build this up just to break it down
Let’s build this up just to break it down again
Foreign lands & inner struggles
Your demands have gotten shallow
Let’s build this up just to break it down
Let’s build this up just to break it down again
Cut the cord I can make it on my own
You never mattered anyway
When I lost you I found my place
But I can’t get you from my clothes
I’ll never stand outside your window
Below the soil & the dirt
Are all my friends that have my heart
My families gone & all that’s left
Is this stupid song & a hole in my chest
Well I’m still here & I’m still breathing
This half of my heart is hardly beating
She keeps repeating all that she needed
But I don’t care I like this distance
Cut the cord I can make it on my own
You never mattered anyway
When I lost you I found my place
But I can’t get you from my clothes
I’ll never stand outside your window
Let’s build this up just to break, break, break it down
All my friends are gone & they’re not coming back again
Let’s build this up just to break, break, break it down
