The Middle Lyrics

How am I always the last to know?

What, you don't think I can keep a secret?

Hand in hand and on tipped toes

You make your way away from me

Is there something I could have done?

If there is I don't want to know

Was it something that I said

Or didn't say

Is there something I could have changed?

If there is I don't want to know

Or maybe it's just preordained

I admit I've known it all along

It's nestled somewhere in the middle

With my unrealized dreams and broken down schemes

Next to the promises I couldn't keep

Is there something I could have done?

If there is I don't want to know

Was it something that I said

What did I say?

Is there something I could have changed?

If there is I don't want to know

Or maybe it's just preordained

Embrace the marred and imperfect

Affix it back together with gold

The cracks will remain on the surface

But the middle will continue to hold
