Separations
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.
I've been shattered
By the eyes that betrayed me
I've been deceived and misguided by
The ones who said they would save me
Where do you go from the bottom
When all you know is nothing
Do I give in, do I let go
Do I stand for something
We all live
With the weight of a tombstone
Heavy on our backs
Harder to run from
I always thought I'd be someone
Who'd find their way back home
I always thought I'd be the one to save you from yourself
You're fading fast but when I reached out
You turned away and left me on my own
You're fading fast but when I reached out
You turned away and left me on my own
You thought you knew me all too well
But nothing will change my mind
I've set my path
And I'm leaving you behind
I've been shattered
By the eyes that betrayed me
I've been deceived and misguided by
The ones who said they would save me
We all live
With the weight of a tombstone
Heavy on our backs
Harder to run from
I always thought I'd be someone
Who'd find their way back home
I always thought I'd be the one to save you from yourself
You're fading fast but when I reached out
You turned away and left me on my own
You're fading fast but when I reached out
You turned away and left me on my own
Fuck all the doubters who wouldn't believe
And fuck all the blind who refused to see
Suck it
You're falling fast
I tried to pick you up off the ground
But when I reached out
You left me on my own
