i like when you wake up
i see it in your eyes
and to my surprise
i feel a different kind of love
for the first time
in my entire life
i won't let you down, i won't leave you now
i swear i'll make this right
you always get it sideways
my only complaint
is i don't get to stay
i cooperate like a gun held to my head
this is a robbery of my relationship
you can't do this, he's way too young
or maybe just young enough to not remember how this was
his excitement when i walk through that door
my knees drop to the floor
how can i sleep at night
we came from broken families
now we're broken on our own
we swore this wouldn't happen
but i guess it's out of our control

my eyes are hallowed holes
i see right down to the bone
learned all this on my own
how to cope, my mind is torn
closing in my throat, my lungs constricting
it's like you're sitting on my chest
still choking on this smoke instead
the weight of nothing might make me collapse
define sane, what's okay?
how do i get up to face this day?
i can't tell you all the reasons why
i feel half asleep while i'm wide awake
what did you say?
it's all laid out in front of me
my life's choices all turned to stone
like Lot's wife
as soon as i turn back to reminisce
i solidify

you trust me
and i'm honest
i'll always call you on it
your actions, we move past it
it lingers on me
i know that you care
it's now my cross to bear
you came too far
for me to close that door
what happened to you?
(you scream for help but i can't make out the sound)
the words hold true
(you scream for help but i can't make out the sound)
this situation is drenched in irony
you wring it out like clothes going out to dry
i know you tried
you're gone, it lingers on

hurt a fly because a fly hurt me
said goodbye becuase i didn't know
that a heart needs to say
i'm sorry for lying,
i'm sorry for trying too late
i never told you all the things that ate me up inside
i couldn't bring myself to kill one more night
i only want to set your mind at ease
so please believe me
when i say i'm sorry
forgive me
when i say it's all me
you bring me down
i try to stay true
i give you everything
you spite all i do
verbalize your feelings
they're all borrowed lines
one too many times
what could you say to me that i hadn't thought before?
i pick you up, you knock me down
oh i couldn't see coming around happening again

knocking down the door
we both thought i needed more
but i can see through this
you needed a purpose
i couldn't fill it
now can you hear me?
are you even listening?
enough with my memory
and all that you told me
now i can see through me
i am nothing
i'm not what you made me
don't need your sympathy
book open and read me
i am nothing
i am dynamic, you're perfectly static
you consider it a compliment
much to my lament
i can always count on you
unwavering, unbent
all of my progress grinding to a halt
if you could measure my worth,
would you measure it in dollars?
would you measure it in metric?
(you heard it all, you heard it all before)
