IT'S EASIER TO RUN REPLACING THIS PAIN EITH SOMETHING NUMB IT'S SO MUCH EASIER TO GO THAN FACE ALL THE PAIN HERE ALONE SOMETHING HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM DEEP INSIDE OF ME A SECRET I'VE KEPT LOCKED AWAY NO ONE CAN EVER SEE WOUNDS SO DEEP THEY NEVER SHOW THEY NEVER GO AWAY LIKE MOVING PICTURES IN MY HEAD FOR YEARS AND YEARS THEY'VE PLAYED IF I COULD CHANGE I WOULD TAKE BACK THE PAIN I WOULD RETRACE EVERY WRONG MOVE THAT I MADE I WOULD IF I COULD STAND UP AND TAKE THE BLAME I WOULD IF I COULD TAKE ALL THE SHAME TO THE GRAVE I WOULD SOMETIMES I REMEMBER THE DARKNESS OF MY PAST BRINGING BACK THESE MEMORIES I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE SOMETIMES I THINK OF LETTING GO AND NEVER LOOKING BACK AND NEVER LOOKING FORWARD SO THERE WOULD NEVER BE A PAST JUST WASHING IT ASIDE ALL OF THE HELPLESSNESS INSIDE PRETENDING I DON'T FEEL MISPLACED IS SO MUCH SIMPLER THAN CHANGE IT'S EASIER TO RUN REPLACING THIS PAIN WITH SOMETHING NUMB IT'S SO MUCH EASIER TO GO THAN FACE ALL THIS PAIN HERE ALONE

I AM LITTLE BIT OF LONELINESS A LITTLE BIT OF DISREGARD A HANDFUL OF COMPLAINTS BUT I CAN'T HELP THE FACT THAT EVERYONE CAN SEE THE SCARS I AM WHAT I WANT YOU TO WANT WHAT I WANT YOU TO FEEL BUT IT'S LIKE NO MATTER WHAT I DO I CAN'T CONVINCE YOU TO JUST BELIEVE THIS IS REAL SO I LET GO WATCHING YOU TURN YOUR BACK LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO FACE AWAY AND PRETEND THAT I'M NOT BUT I'LL BE HERE 'CAUSE YOU'RE ALL I GOT I AM A LITTLE BIT INSECURE A LITTLE UNCONFIDENT 'CAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND I DO WHAT I CAN BUT SOMETIMES I DON'T MAKE SENSE I AM WHAT YOU NEVER WANT TO SAY BUT I'VE NEVER HAD A DOUBT IT'S LIKE NO MATTER WHAT I DO I CAN'T CONVINCE YOU FOR ONCE JUST TO HEAR ME OUT SO I LET GO WATCHING YOU TURN YOUR BACK LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO FACE AWAY AND PRETEND THAT I'M NOT BUT I'LL BE HERE 'CAUSE YOU'RE ALL I GOT I CAN'T FEEL THE WAY I DID BEFORE DON'T TURN YOUR BACK ON ME I WON'T BE IGNORED NO HEAR ME OUT NOW YOU'RE GONNA LISTEN TO ME LIKE IT OR NOT RIGHT NOW

NOTHING EVER STOPS ALL THESE THOUGHTS AND THE PAIN ATTACHED TO THEM SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY THIS IS HAPPENING IT'S LIKE NOTHING I CAN DO WILL DISTRACT ME WHEN I THINK OF HOW I SHOT MYSELF IN THE BACK AGAIN 'CAUSE FROM THE INFINITE WORD I COULD SAY/ I PUT ALL THE PAIN YOU GAVE TO ME ON DISPLAY/ BUT DIDN'T REALIZE/ INSTEAD OF SETTING IT FREE/ I TOOK WHAT I HATED AND MADED IT A PART OF ME [IT NEVER GOES AWAY] HEARING YOUR NAME/ THE MEMORIES COME BACK AGAIN I REMEMBER WHEN IT STARTED HAPPENING I'D SEE YOU IN EVERY THOUGHT I HAD AND THEN THE THOUGHTS SLOWLY FOUND WORDS ATTACHED TO THEM AND I KNEW AS THEY ESCAPED AWAY I WAS COMMITING MYSELF TO THEM/ AND EVERY DAY I REGRET SAVING THOSE THINGS/ 'CAUSE NOW I SEE/ THAT I TOOK WHAT I HATED AND MADE IT A PART OF ME [IT NEVER GOES AWAY] AND NOW YOU'VE BECOME A PART OF ME YOU'LL ALWAYS BECOME A PART OF ME YOU'LL ALWAYS BE RIGHT THERE YOU'VE BESOME A PART OF ME YOU'LL ALWAYS BE IN MY FEAR I CAN'T SEPARATE MYSELF FROM WHAT I'VE DONE I'VE GIVEN UP A PART OF ME I'VE LET MYSELF BECOME YOU GET AWAY FROM ME GIMME MY SPACE BACK/ YOU GOTTA JUST GO EVERYTHING COMES DOWN TO MEMORIES OF YOU I'VE KEPT IT IN BUT NOW I'M LETTING YOU KNOW I'VE LET YOU GO GET AWAY FROM ME I'VE LET MYSELF BECOME YOU I'VE LET MYSELF BECOME LOST INSIDE THESE THOUGHTS OF YOU GIVING UP A PART OF ME I'VE LET MYSELF BECOME YOU

MEMORIES CONSUME LIKE OPENING THE WOUND I'M PICKING ME APART AGAIN YOU ALL ASSUME I'M SAFE HERE IN MY ROOM [UNLESS I TRY TO START AGAIN] I DON'T WANT TO BE THE ONE THE BATTLES ALWAYS CHOOSE 'CAUSE INSIDE I REALIZE THAT I'M THE ONE CONFUSED I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WORTH FIGHTING FOR OR WHY I HAVE TO SCREAM I DON'T KNOW WHY I INSTIGATE AND SAY WHAT I DON'T MEAN I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT THIS WAY I KNOW IT'SNOT ALRIGHT SO I'M BREAKING THE HABIT TONIGHT CLUTCHING MY CURE I TIGHTLY LOCK THE DOOR I TRY TO CATVH MY BREATH AGAIN I HURT MUCH MORE THAN ANYTIME MORE THAN ANYTIME BEFORE I HAD NO OPTIONS LEFT AGAIN I'LL PAINT IT ON THE WALLS 'CAUSE I'M THE ONE AT FAULT I'LL NEVER FIGHT AGAIN AND THIS IS HOW IT ENDS I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WORTH FIGHTING FOR OR WHY I HAVE TO SCREAM BUT NOW I HAVE SOME CLARITY TO SHOW WHAT I MEAN I DON'T KNOW HOW I GOT THIS WAY I'LL NEVER BE ALRIGHT SO I'MBREAKIG THE HABIT BREAKING THE HABIT TONIGHT
