"Sell My Soul" by Our Lady Peace

How do you feel?
How do you hate?
How do you wake up with
That smile that's on your face?

Out on the moon
If I was an astronaut
Could I get back to you?

I’m out of my head
I’m out of excuses
so I’m staring at the bed,
and it's you,
it’s you

I hold on, I hold on
I can't let go
And you don't know how I feel
Hold on I hold on
I’d sell my soul
And you don't know how I feel

I’m losing my heart
I’m losing my pride
I’d burn our initials
In the sun if it would shine
I need a fresh start
‘Cause I was in heaven until
This world fell apart

I’m out on the run
I’m out in this empty space
Since all of this begun
Well I tried, I tried

Nothing seems to help
Nothing seems to work
Nothing is as beautiful
I’m old enough to take
all the blame
For all the mistakes
All the games and
All the faces
I’m bleeding by myself
But I’m okay

I just can't stop thinking about you...
and you don't believe me...
