I wanted so much more,
I just couldn't face it.
I broke that door,
And never replaced it.
Washed up on shore,
So fucked up and faded.
I hated who I was.
And soon bones grew sore,
My muscles felt jaded.
My health was poor,
The stress reinstated.
I wanted so much more...
But instead I just waited,
And nothing ever changed
Judging by the scars
Etched into your legs
There was a time
You wished you were dead
Born with the fleeting sense of happiness
Carved deep in side your flesh.
But you've got so much left to live for
If not yourself, then other people
The impact of your presence makes
This world a better place
I never wanted to hurt no one
Packed up the sadness
And tried to run
Sat back and promised have some fun
Pretend to laugh
Pretend to laugh
You were golden then,
I was broken in.
Half hearted, living in my head
Left alone so I could dwell
On what I could have been
What I should have been!
Judging by the scars
Etched into your wrists,
There was a time you wished
You were dead.
Born with a fleeting sense of happiness
Carved deep inside your head.
But you had so much left to live for,
If not yourself, then other people
The impact of your presence made
This world a better place
You made this world a better place.
I was buying into something
That was quickly growing stale.
So I climbed the rope to opt out,
But got tangled up somewhere.
Now I'm dangling,
Nervously flailing.
Until I finally lose my grip,
And I fall right back into this mess
For what it's worth,
For what? it's worthless.
I said sorry more than I said I loved you...
I kept thinking, and I kept digging this hole.
I said sorry more than I said I loved you...
Rest those eyelids, my head's never silent
