lyrics

I've noticed a change in your gaze
It's telling me
Whatever it is has been on your mind for days
And I'm sure I know
That you're bubbling up from below
And about to explode

Confused and alone and ostracized
For telling me
"I think it's okay if we live our own lives"
And when I'm on the phone
You start to cry
Like you want me right back by your side
Like we both never lied
Why?

And from the eyes of a man
Who has been his share of cruel
Your courageous display
Is making you look like such a fool

The future is ours to make
The canvas is blank
You choose your favorite shade of nothing
And you start to paint
All the buildings burned down
All the rivers run dry
And there are holes in the earth
There are holes in the sky
Don't look to me and ask why
This picture has you terrified
Why?

Cause this is your masterpiece
Aren't you proud?
This is your masterpiece
Aren't you proud?
This is your masterpiece
Say it out loud
I'm alone and I'm proud
