Sometimes we miss old friends, until we remember we weren’t friends
You see, treachery in memories always takes a different spin
Until it happens again and again
And its that time again, you’re just in time to break me down
You said you want my pain?
So I gave you pain
I’ll give you pain, until it’s gone
You wanna know my deal, the reason I can’t deal
Why I crack under the pressure of always feeling guilty
Of never pleasing anyone because no one here can get over themselves
But it’s that time again, there’s always time, to bring me down
You say you want my heart, just to tear it apart
But that’s my favorite part of me, yea that’s the only part I love
You can’t tell me how to be myself, just wait
I’m gonna try my best to figure it out for myself
You cant break me down again or change my mind on this
Because I’m breaking out of this, your darkness
No one’s ever felt like this before, oh no
Because no one’s ever been like me before
I’m sure of it, sure of it
You can’t tell me, how to be myself, just wait
I’m gonna try my best to figure it out for myself
You cant break me down again or change my mind on this
Because I’m breaking out of this, your darkness
Would you die for me if I lived for you?
But turn your back on me, if I continue to follow my heart?
How could you?
Throw me away, just let me be, and hate me for me
(I can’t be so, perfectly, untrue for you)
Loving a lie, deny me my life, but I still love you
But why should I?
