I'm holding my breath now, don't know for how long
I hear myself counting to the ticking of the clock
When I feel the sand trickle on my skinny shell it tickles
It's leaving dents in my memory, split seconds I missed
I choose to be the only one
I choose to be the lonely one
My head is sweet, a room that no one knows
A thousand eyes are staring, I need to turn away
Reconnecting is what scares me, I'll let it die today
And it hurts when I lie waiting, sleep is luxury, so I keep playing
Fighting the fear and fearing loss, I quit sharing my love
Warm winds beneath me sigh, say that I'll be fine, I'll get by
They're moody like me, they change with time, colours drain from my lie
I choose to be the only one
I choose to be the lonely one
My head is sweet, a room that no one knows
I choose to be the only one
I know, we'll see
I'm chasing rays of light, keep anything I find
That means something to me
