It's so unlike me to say it to your face, it's so unlike me to say it
But you need to hear it, you have to hear it
You were running all over town, causing drama and confusion
and sticking your nose where it didn't belong
Someone had to say something fast, someone had to something
But I didn't think that person would be me
I haven't seen you since way back in June
I think you left this world a little too soon
I never really got a chance to say goodbye
I just wish you were still alive
You retreated to your private space, desperately hiding your face
Even though nobody was looking for it
You were begging for forgiveness again, you were begging for mercy
Even though nobody was against you
Dark voices were haunting all of your thoughts, you were losing sleep
and somehow you tried to blame that on me

Stuck in a distant memory
The only world that makes sense to me
Searching for answers to irrelevant questions
I swear to god it's my best intention
I've seen it before
You get so mad
You act like that
And I don't know the reasons why
You think you have all the answers
But you don't have a clue
You're always breathing down my neck
and I'm getting sick of you
Maybe someday it will come to a halt
And you'll find new a reason to say it's all my fault
I wonder if you'd notice if I suddenly went missing
I wonder if you'd notice if I suddenly stopped existing
I'm sorry for the negative vibes I've been sending
This paradise is never ending
It's way too early for me to call it quits
There's still a piece of me that still gives a shit

I went looking for the truth
But all I found were different versions of the same lie
Why do I wonder why?
My world is collapsing and falling into ruins
Everyone around me is content
I guess ignorance works well for buffoons
I feel I'm reaching a critical point
I feel my breaking point is coming soon
Everyone has bought into
Beliefs I don't subscribe to
And I don't know how much longer
I can keep on carrying this burden
So many years have gone
and so much mental health has gone with it
You told me, "don't give up"
Well I'm gonna give up anyway
You told me to stay on the watch
Well I've watched and I've watched and I've watched
And all the sacrifices that I've made
For an old promise you made that's impossible to keep
I know you think I'm an idiot
Whose full of lies
But if you give me a moment of your time
And let me speak my mind
I think you'd be surprised
I'll keep up this charade
maybe no-one will catch on to what I'm thinking
Though I don't know how long I'll last
Trying to move forward while keeping one foot in the past
But I'm still searching
For right answers or right conclusions
Still wrestling with the fear
That I'm somehow still caught in a delusion

She could've sat next to any other guy in this bar
But she, she sat next to me
And she could've laughed and joked around with any other guy in this bar
But she, she laughed and joked around with me
And she could've put her hand in the hand of any other man
But she put her hand in mine
And she could've made any other guy feel warm and fuzzy inside
But she, she made me feel all fuzzy
And sometimes I feel like there's no-one else in the room
When I'm with her
And sometimes I feel like the weight of the world
is being lifted off my shoulders when she's around
And I'd like to explore her mind
And search the depths of her soul
And I can't describe the feeling that I get
When I look into her eyes
And she could've taken any other guy home
But she, well she took me
And she could've kissed the lips attached to any other guy
But she, she kissed the lips attached to me
And she could've taken her clothes off for any other guy
But she, she took her clothes off for me
And she could have laid down with any other guy
But she laid down with me
And she could've gotten tired of any other man
But she, she got tired of me
And she could've walked away from any other man
But she walked away from me
And she could've broken the heart in any other man
But she broke the heart inside of me
Maybe I should just get over it, I should just move on
But I'm too invested emotionally
