I See Black

You know it goes away, they say

as if that makes it true

I know it hurts today, but hey

what can you do

I guess it's easy to say, you know

until it happens to you

and that's something that I have to deal with

I only wish it wasn't so damn hard

just to let things go

'cause I'm not doing so well, so far

but I hope it won't show

In case you couldn't tell

the scars should give me away

and that's something that I have to deal with

if only for another day

So now I'm picking up the pieces

to see what I can save

I only had the best intentions

but that's how the road to Hell is paved

and that's where I am

it's not by choice, but still

I'll take what I can

'cause I still hear a voice that says

I gave myself away again

we all know the song but kinda hum the words

fucked one more time but we never learn

Somehow I know that this is just another phase

and in the give and take something had to break

and now I stand amazed

That I walked away and there I stayed

but it hurts more than you'll know

I never thought this would be easy

and that's just the way it goes

And I get carried away by the things I say

at the end of the day someone had to pay

I'm just surprised I volunteered

to be the one who's cast aside

to leave it all and not know why

I won't find much comfort here

'cause I see black and I think it shows

but I really hope you'll never know

what it's like to feel this alone

and I guess that I will never learn

another bridge that's fucking burned

and just because I say I'm alright

doesn't mean I sleep at night
