[Chrous]
I came here to feel alive
Stopped trying to read your mind
I wanted to change me to be like you
A year in, the feeling's died
Can't bear to repeat a lie
Nobody could save me from the peace, ah
I wanted a peek inside
My old Tennessean life
I got what I asked for, no thanks to you
I'd kill to believe I tried
It's something to free the mind
Nobody could save me from the peace I knew
[Verse 1]
One step, two punches, I won't get involved
Thinking up every last excuse I can to say I'm wrong
I would've never let it get that far
I'd say my piece, but what's the use when I'm just trying to get there
I'd cross a time zone just to get out of your hair
A ticking time bomb, darling, why can't you play fair
Know I can't hide long, I'd kill myself 'fore I stayed there
I wanted to play fair, but I-
[Chorus]
I came here to feel alive
Stopped trying to read your mind
I wanted to change me to be like you
A year in, the feeling's died
Can't bear to repeat a lie
Nobody could save me from the peace, ah
I wanted a peek inside
My old Tennessean life
I got what I asked for, no thanks to you
I'd kill to believe I tried
It's something to free the mind
Nobody could save me from the peace I knew
[Verse 2]
One step forward, now I'm back where I started
No change in the person, just the accent
I wanted to know you, but you pulled me apart
And I've shamed every version of myself for it
I wanna know, I wanna know how to behave like that
But I wouldn't go, I wouldn't go out with a gun to my back
So where do we go, where do we go now
If not to the next?
[Chorus]
I came here to feel alive
Stopped trying to read your mind
I wanted to change me to be like you
A year in, the feeling's died
Can't bear to repeat a lie
Nobody could save me from the peace, ah
I wanted a peek inside
My old Tennessean life
I got what I asked for, no thanks to you
I'd kill to believe I tried
It's something to free the mind
(Nobody could save me from the peace I knew)
[Outro]
The peace I knew
(I came here to feel alive
Stopped trying to read your mind
I wanted to change me to be like you)
The peace I knew
(A year in, the feeling's died
Can't bear to repeat a lie
Nobody could save me from the peace, ah)
The peace I knew
(I wanted a peek inside
My old Tennessean life
I got what I asked for, no thanks to you)
The peace I knew
(I'd kill to believe I tried
It's something to free the mind)
