Shouting Matches by Taylor Janzen Lyrics

Night falls, I look out and I can’t make out a thing
So I burned all my bridges down just to have something to see
You don’t need to worry, darling, I don’t need to escape
From this ever-growing​ sadness that I can’t help but create
For myself, for myself

Well, if I knew what was good for me, I’d open up the blinds
I’d let the sun fill my room, and I’d let it change my life
But you don’t need to worry, darling, one day I’ll be just fine
I’ll stare up into the sun until it burns right through my eyes

Is that what you want? Is that what you wanted from me?
Is that what you want? Is that what you needed to see?
Oh, if I see the beauty in everything, then how am I to know just what to sing
When it all burns down and there’s no one around?

Melancholy has always got me right where it wants
My voice is for starting shouting matches with God
But you should start to worry, darling, if you can’t hear the sirens calling out through my broken promise
Didn’t you ask me to be honest?
Isn't that what you want? Is that what you wanted from me?
Is that what you want? Is that what you needed to see?
Oh, if I see the beauty in everything then how am I to know just what to sing
When it all burns down and there’s no one around?

And it all falls down, and it all falls down
I’ve been practicing the steps for when it all falls down again
When it all falls down
