I’ve had enough I waste my life away I’ve had enough I make the same mistakes
Now I know to separate myself from you
Let me take this time to apologize to those who tried to help. It seems that good advice went in one ear and out
And I thought I’d be fine despite the times I may have crossed the line. Too bad it takes a tragedy to open up my eyes
I am worthless I deserve this
At what point do we admit the fact mistakes became a choice my body’s now a vessel no brain no heart no voice
I’ll always try to leave the past behind last call tonight escape from my own mind

Growing Pains

Everyone tells me that it doesn’t matter anymore, but these visions pull me out of my bed through the floor
This whole situation is so hard to frame it seems my head had forgotten but my heart stayed the same.
I can feel vibrations, footprints maybe, scratching limbs un-pressed arms, will is fading
I can’t wait to fall asleep if there’s a chance your in my dreams
Something lives and something dies with the sunrise
I’ll breath in your light till you see I’m alive
You said you never let go, how nice it must be to know, that in the end you get what you wanted
Peel away floorboard rot like flesh from bone, measure how I have shrank weigh how you have grown
I gave up my sanity, just to feel you hear with me
Something lives and something dies with the sunrise
I’ll breathe in your light till you see I’m alive
You said to never let go, how nice it must be to know, that in the end you get what you wanted
It was the way that we loved, that made the rest never enough
You said to never let go, how nice it must be to know, that In the end you get what you wanted
It was the way that we loved, it was the way that we loved

I used to think that if I could place the words, you might miss me
I thought that if only I could wait it out, time might fix me
But patience isn’t all that its cracked up to be, I’m still waiting
And all the promises that things will get better don't mean a damn thing
The hardest part, is still waking up,
Cause I still feel you when I dream, and that used to be enough
Its funny how long you can live in someones brain
you were with me then and youre still with me now… i guess some things never change
I’m giving up, I’m tapping out theres nothing here left for me now
I tried my best to move on but six years is six years too long
So don’t be sad and please don’t doubt, don't wonder if you’re missing out
I’ve finally found
I’m no one after all
I used to think about all the times I swore, I was worth it
I’m sorry that I used to try and make you feel guilty for this
Its good that you can recognize all the signs when someones empty
Cause I was like a cancer and would have dragged you right down with me
After all this time, it keeps getting worse
So if I choose to leave this, I hope that you don't hurt
I’ll take the blame again, Like I know I should
And when I say goodbye this time, just know goodbye means for good
I’m giving up, I’m tapping out theres nothing here left for me now
I tried my best to move on but six years is six years too long
So don’t be sad and please don’t doubt, don't wonder if you’re missing out
I’ve finally found
I’m no one after all
If this is what lifes gunna be like
I’m giving up, its over its alright
I chased the light that I saw in your eyes
I may have lost, but at the least I tried
I’m giving up, I’m tapping out theres nothing here left for me now
I tried my best to move on but six years is six years too long
So don’t be sad and please don’t doubt, don't wonder if you’re missing out
I’ve finally found
I’m no one after all

To turn a page
So is this how we pick ourselves up now?
Lay the hurt to rest and learn to live without?
Cause I’ve been spending all my time wrapped up on what love means to me,
And I’ve been half the man that I was meant to be
I’ve tried to hit rewind, or at the least sedate myself till I carry on
But what I’ve learned is that simply moving forward isnt the same thing as letting go. I’ve been turning pages skipping chapter after chapter trying to find the part where Im happy again. But this stories not gunna end the way I once thought it would. And I’m so god damn sick of framing it in ways I never intended
So is this how we pick ourselves up now?
Lay the hurt to rest and learn to live without?
Cause I’ve been spending all my time wrapped up on what love means to me,
And I’ve been half the man that I was meant to be
If I could find a way to find the strength and kill the part of me that held on
Moving on means closing the door to a chapter of my life that I remember so fondly.
And sometimes moving on even feels like giving up. I spent years believing that things could somehow be the same so long as I refused to let go. I grasped the idea of you all while nostalgia closed my eyes to the world.
So is this how we pick ourselves up now?
Lay the hurt to rest and learn to live without?
Cause I’ve been spending all my time wrapped up on what love means to me,
And I’ve been half the man that I was meant to be
I was looking for the light you used to shine for me in someone else
I was hoping you could help me see that same light inside myself
So I could feel the same
You were right I was wrong and I was caught up in the wrong direction,
So focused on my lost connection,
Cause I refused to change
I’ll choose to change
