The Answer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She spins a tale of love so bittersweet that it stains my lips
I wonder how you got so lonely with a grace so poisonous
But she melts away in the light
I could never stay away,
But I could sure fucking try
I don't deserve this
I'm lost looking for purpose
No, I'm not worthless
I'm just looking for answers
You're not the answer
This is not what I want
I just keep running away from the pain
I swear, I swear, I'll never make it out of here
The answer stays the same
She's misery, but when she leaves I find I'm wondering
How many times have I tried?
Why can't I just get this right?
She slips away from me again
Force me away, force me to hide my heart
When I'd give anything to lie with you
This is not what I want
I just keep running away from the pain
I swear, I swear, I'll never make it out of here
The answer stays the same.
There's something growing inside me
My hearts not yours to break
I've let you go.
I found the answer was hiding inside me
Don't fucking judge me
I command respect
Who would've thought my life could fall right in front of me?
I watched you burn out of reality
You found me trivial I found you a tragedy
The night you burned I found what's left of me
This is what's left of me
What I want
I just keep running away from the pain
I swear, I swear, I'll never make it out of here
The answer stays the same.
I swear, I swear I'm just looking for answers, you're not the answer.
I swear, I swear I got the answer, you're not the answer.
It's not something I could wish upon myself.
