lyrics

I wasted my last wish to shine a light,
Traded peaks and valleys for "just alright"
I had to run before the walls collapsed,
Chewed off my hand, to escape my own trap.
Made up my mind about everything,
Craving silence, but dying to hear you sing.
There's nothing that we've left unsaid,
Maybe we should quit while we're ahead.

In these times, these empty times, I lose my mind.
I'll tear your heart out just to keep a part of you.
And all your tears, yes all your tears will be souvenirs,
And when you hate me, at least I made you feel.
And you tried, God how you tried to abide my madness,
But there's no comfort in living a tangled web of lies.
Curse my name, I'll take all the blame, like I took all your secrets.
Like I made up the reasons you should keep the wool over your eyes.

All the times you swore you'd walk away,
The cowardice that kept you in your cage.
The empty smiles that never reached your eyes,
The cries for help you coded in your sighs.
The days you thought it might turn out okay,
The sleepless nights, the words you couldn't say.
The bits of you you killed to keep the peace,
The broken shards of who you used to be.

In these times, these empty times, I lose my mind.
I'll tear your heart out just to keep a part of you.
And all your tears, yes all your tears will be souvenirs,
And when you hate me, at least I made you feel.
And you tried, God how you tried to abide my madness,
But there's no comfort in living a tangled web of lies.
Curse my name, I'll take all the blame, like I took all your secrets.
Like I made up the reasons you should keep the wool over your eyes.
