Lose Yourself

They say it's hard to fall in love

Maybe they never learned how to patiently wait

They say it's always dark before the dawn

But you walked away before the dawn could break

So who's really right in the end?

When you tore down the walls

But I'm the one alone in this bed?

As you feel his hands around your waste

I can feel them around my neck

God, this complacency has numbed me

And this numbing has scared me back into the deep

I'm slowly learning how to learn from something

And realizing the only thing worse than feeling pain

Is feeling nothing

There is an intoxication in her smile

And it went straight to my head

Without it, I can't see past these

Blurred lines that I've always been fed

And sometimes I wonder

Maybe my chest cavity is growing bigger

Or maybe my heart is just shrinking

Either way we decorate this ship

It's still sinking

And I always had love to blame

And I always had love to blame

As I try to find my way, I feel this pain

And I had love to blame

I had love to blame

If I were to believe in love

I would have to see a flood

But knowing my luck

I would somehow float to shore

And have to wake up

I don't want to wake up

I don't want to wake up

'Cause I'm trying, just trying to find the light inside

So roll this stone away

I don't want to sleep another day

I just want to be in your presence

So, please, let me fade away
