It’s been a battle just to wake and greet the day
Then they all disappear like sugar in my coffee
(Sugar in my coffee)

A hint of sweetness but the bitterness remains
The acidity devouring my body

But I am learning to let go
Of everything I tried to hold
Too long ‘cause they all explode
Like roman candles
[Verse 2]
[Pause]
I used to feel everything like a flame
But now it’s a struggle just to feel anything

(To feel anything)
I watch the world from a window on a hill
Everyone moving as I’m standing still
(I’m standing still)
