lyrics

Change over time is a universal, inescapable occurrence
So why did you think I was the only exception?
You asked me if that ring I gave you meant anything
I said, "I don't want someone else, I just want myself back"
I'm a boy with a broken compass and no sense of direction
All I know is that I'm never at home
I'll just put my hood up so I can't see behind me
And walk until I can breathe easy

With my self destructive tendencies
Shutting down, shutting out the world
I lost myself, is there anything left to lose?
Now I'm growing
Am I growing?

As we sat on the floor with heavy hearts and shallow breath,
I couldn't force the words across my teeth
The pain in her eyes reflecting the pain in mine
I've never seen so much ruin
But I'm tired of the talks that always end in tears
And it's been nothing but for the past three years
I love the relapse but I hate the aftermath
Tell me you don't need me, tell me you don't want me

My chemical imbalance makes me the perfect melancholy poster child
I guess I'll go on living, but a piece of me died and the blade CPR isn’t working so well

I didn't care enough about you, darling, because I didn't care enough about myself
And God don't let these prayers fall on deaf ears
Because that would be the most tragic thing to happen this year
