Fickle Gods

All of my pains fall away
While I fade
I'm just trying to do my best
And keep my worst from you

And I can tell
You're saying all the right things
As your heart swings
Thirty stories high
On the mezzanine
I feel us flickering

I can't close my eyes 'til it's over
Seeing you and him getting closer
How did it get like this
I'm a bigger man than he is

Your smile grows while mine is fading
Words you're saying leave my heart racing
How did it get like this
I'm a bigger man than he is
I'm a bigger man than he is
I'm a bigger man than he is

It's clear as day
That you're drifting away
There's no escape
I'm stuck watching
This mistake
That you're about to make

While fickle gods
Play their games
I feel the same
Nothing's changed
Sometimes the world
Just gets in the way

I can't close my eyes 'til it's over
Seeing you and him getting closer
How did it get like this
I'm a bigger man than he is

Your smile grows while mine is fading
Words you're saying leave my heart racing
How did it get like this
I'm a bigger man than he is
I'm a bigger man than he is
I'm a bigger man than he is
I'm a bigger man than he is

All of my pains fall away
While I fade
I'm just trying to do my best
And keep my worst from you
