Don't Wish Me Well

Pack your bags, we leave tonight. I'm tired of standing still
These walls have held me in for far too long
“Tear it down” she said, and pack it up
Let’s leave this washed up town before it kills me

All this wasted time
(Can’t get back, can’t get it back)
I'm falling far behind
(Pull me out, don’t pull me down)

You hold this stone you forged around me
Chisel me away
(I don't recognize myself)
I'm doing fine, don't wish me well

All you ever think I do is chase a dead end dream
I followed where you said to go, but failure’s all you see

I'm on my own and all I need
Is to find the piece of me that used to fit so perfectly

I wish someone would have said
These days would end
I miss the songs we would play
And the chorus sang

All this wasted time
I'm falling far behind
You hold this stone you forged around me
(Chisel me away)
Don't recognize myself (myself)
I'm doing fine, don't wish me well
All you ever think I do is chase a dead end dream
(I don't recognize myself)
I'm doing fine, don't wish me well
