Nothing Gold Can Stay - Limits Lyrics

I'm doing all I can
But it doesn't come easy anymore
I feel like I've closed the door
I feel like you've forced my hand
And I'm trying
To keep myself out of harm's way
Tell myself I want to stay
But I don't buy it
The air is heavy with anticipation
Weigh my words and bide my time
Think of all I've left behind
Try to let go all that's gone
I've never really been easy that way
I can't follow my own rules
I guess that rings through
I can't keep my demons at bay
I'm doing all I can
But it doesn't come easy anymore
I feel like I've closed the door
I feel like you've forced my hand
And I'm trying
To keep myself out of harm's way
Tell myself I want to stay
But I don't buy it
If only I could break my inside out
Keep wanting to hit rewind
Reverse time, lose myself in the crowd
I need to find out how
I guess the finish line is finally in sight
It's too late now
I've run into my limits
Disappear into the night
I'm doing all I can
But it doesn't come easy anymore
I feel like I've closed the door
I feel like you've forced my hand
And I'm trying
To keep myself out of harm's way
Tell myself I want to stay
But I don't buy it
I'm doing all I can
But it doesn't come easy anymore
I feel like I've closed the door
I feel like you've forced my hand
And I'm trying
To keep myself out of harm's way
Tell myself I want to stay
But I don't buy it
And I'm dealing with this
With paper and pen
I'm staying out your embrace
I'm keeping needles far away
I know I've been led far astray
I'm keeping all but my faith
I'm getting myself cleansed of this
The air is heavy with anticipation
Weigh my words and bide my time
Try to let go all that's gone
I've never been easy that way
Can't follow my own rules
Can't keep my demons at bay
I'm doing all I can
But it doesn't come easy anymore
I feel like I've closed the door
I feel like you've forced my hand
And I'm trying
To keep myself out of harm's way
Tell myself I want to stay
But I don't buy it
