I miss you. I can't help it. I can't stop it.

The more I try to fight it, the more I end up losin' it.

I can't do this.

I can't look you in the eyes and hear all of the lies that you keep try'n to disguise.

I love you. I can't help it. I can't stop it.

The more I try to hide it, the more I end up losin' it.

I can't do this.

I can't look myself in the eyes and repeat all of the lies that i keep try'n to disguise.

I feel stuck. I feel used. I feel like I'm outta moves but I can't let you loose.

I'm in these invisible chains. I see nothings changed. I feel it every single day.

I know whats next but I can't move outta the way.

I need you. I breathe you. I can't get you outta my brain.

But its no use. This won't do. There's no way to get to you.

The more you promise the more I doubt. And the harder I try to figure this out.

I let you go but you keep coming back. You never leave. This is more impossible than it seems.

How can you stand right in front of me and never hear me scream?

What do you want from me?

What do you do when you see the way out?

Do you chase? Or do you waste it? And just let it pass you by.

When theres no energy left to cry. When your past tears refuse to dry. And your future dreams only seem to die.

I guess you'll stumble and I'll fall. I'll be the one to lose it all.

When you can't take the blame and I cant stand the pain. When the only thing left is a blade, I'll take the trade and give into the fade.
