What did you think would happen?

When you put me in unnatural space
A cruel dark box where a shadow took my place
When you put me in unnatural space
A cruel dark box where a shadow took my place
When you put me in unnatural space
A cruel dark box where a shadow took my place
When you put me in unnatural space

What did you think would happen?

Monday is January
Friday is December
The calendar means nothing
When you can’t remember
Who you are
Who you are

Losing hope not sure what to believe
If you’re lost how can you grow from where you’ve been
It’s getting old loving everyone else
More than you love yourself

What did you think would happen?

When you put me in unnatural space
A cruel dark box where a shadow took my place
When you put me in unnatural space
A cruel dark box where a shadow took my place
When you put me in unnatural space
A cruel dark box where a shadow took my place
When you put me in unnatural space

But if you never break you’ll never know
It’s all you need to fight a blow
How to put yourself back together again
Burning bridges from the inside out
One day I’ll be stronger than my own doubt
Stronger than my own doubt

What did you think would happen?

But if you never break you’ll never know
It’s all you need to fight a blow
How to put yourself back together again
Burning bridges from the inside out
One day I’ll be stronger than my own doubt
Stronger than my own doubt

But if you never break you’ll never know
It’s all you need to fight a blow
How to put yourself back together again
Back together again

What did you think would happen?
