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?
