| Have I been keeping you sick?
|
| Here’s me believing a bleeding heart’s just a quick fix
|
| All you needed was me, not my solutions or views
|
| I wish I could take all this pain back I’ve put you through
|
| Guess it’s too little too late
|
| At least I can assure you; |
| I had the best intentions
|
| It’s toxic, it’s noxious, ironically honest
|
| Get out tonight, don’t say farewell
|
| Run for your life, go save yourself
|
| It’s twisted, it’s bitter, it’s sickly sweet
|
| Get out alive, while there’s still time
|
| And don’t you dare even consider a «next time»
|
| But through it all, you managed
|
| I left you bruised and battered
|
| Took you for granted, took advantage and vanished
|
| And you’d think that just for once in my life
|
| I’d take a step back and maybe consider
|
| What’s on your mind but no
|
| You’re the strongest person I know
|
| At least I can assure you I’m afraid of my reflection
|
| It’s toxic, it’s noxious, ironically honest
|
| Get out tonight, don’t say farewell
|
| Run for your life, go save yourself
|
| It’s twisted, it’s bitter, it’s sickly sweet
|
| Get out alive, while there’s still time
|
| And don’t you dare even consider a «next time»
|
| You’re the strongest person I know
|
| You’re the strongest person I know
|
| You’re the strongest person I know
|
| You’re the strongest person I know
|
| I’ve never been one to express myself so directly
|
| More with imagery and symbolism
|
| Obscuring my faults behind a veil of metaphors and euphemisms
|
| But just for one moment, I wanna be open and honest
|
| If we can’t express ourselves directly
|
| And be prepared to expect negativity
|
| Then we’ll surely crumble under the weight of our insecurities
|
| To search yourself
|
| And come face to face with your demons is terrifying
|
| But if we can’t face them, then how do we grow?
|
| How do we recover, or know when we’re wrong?
|
| And yes, it’s okay to be wrong and I have been wrong
|
| And I am wrong, and I am wrong
|
| And this is me, and in all honesty
|
| I’m not doing so well right now
|
| But at least I’m finding the courage to face myself
|
| Self-deprecating? |
| Maybe
|
| Self-absorbed? |
| Maybe
|
| Bravery? |
| Definitely
|
| (So run for your life)
|
| I’m so sorry for all the pain and heartache that I’ve caused you
|
| (And don’t you dare look back)
|
| I just want you to be happy in life
|
| I’ll come and watch from afar
|
| And admire you and every bit of joy
|
| And success that comes your way
|
| (So run for your life)
|
| I know that this is for the best
|
| But it’s been the most difficult choice of my life
|
| (And don’t you dare look back)
|
| I did this for you
|
| And knowing full well the consequences
|
| This is me and my acceptance
|
| All I ask is that you remember me as I walk away |
