I'm sorry I'm this way
And that that's all I seem to say
If I could change, you know I would
(You know I would)
I hear the way you grit your teeth
When I open my mouth to speak
If I could change you know I would
(I wish I could)
[ The truth is that I'm happier
The further we are apart
I can breathe
I can sing
But the hardest part
Is the way my heart sinks when you come home
So next time, give me respite, stay gone, stay gone ]
I push you away
As if to say
I'm better off without you
But you're better off without me
I was never meant to be
Here this long
How selfish of me
I'm chipping away, at you
Feeding off your selflessness
How can you ever whole again
My friend?
I'm trying my best
To hold us together
I'm so sorry for everything
I'm nothing if not sincere
Believe me
I don't want to leave you here
Tell me it's alright
I know it's a lie
I will punish myself for hurting you
It may not make the surface
But I hold this within
I ache everyday
I'm so sorry I'm this way
I'm sorry I'm this way
That's all I have to say
I won't live with the guilt
Wont stay here in this place
I'm sorry I'm this way
I'm putting you through hell
I can't live with the guilt
I will ruin myself

What mistake will I make today?
Who will we push away?
It's not a matter of if, but when and why
Or will we even try?
Only need to prove to myself
All alone
So where were you?
Silhouette of my face
Outlined in bone
We're resigned to our fate
To be alone
We're to blame for these mistakes
Premeditate self-sabotage
I want to see this through with you
But I never knew it would be this hard
We've deprived ourselves for no good reason
Did we ever prove a point?
There's no pride in what we've done
When we've lost it to the void
And we got droves of enemies
Addicted to the needless
And if it's only you and me, then they'll never reveal it
Cause if there's no emergency, then they'll never repeal it
And we all know it
As the bearers of our fate
As the lies they've handled wane
And we all know it
It's the chance that we all take
When we fall asleep again
We're to blame for these mistakes
Premeditate self-sabotage
I want to see this through with you
But I never knew it would be this hard
We've deprived ourselves for no good reason
Did we ever prove a point?
There's no pride in what we've done
When we've lost it to the void

I turn to you and say
Let's get out of here, you turn away
Under my breath, I beg you
Please don't make me stay
You understand, but disagree
There's no way you'll believe
All the things I have to say
You always get your way
As if part of the act
I bend to your will
Rolled under the rock
From the top of the hill
We both play our roles
To meticulous perfection
But I've still not learned my lesson
You turn to me and say
Things simply can't stay this way
All these blatant demands
I understand
I comply, but I wont lie
I won't simply believe
All you've said, all these lines
So why don't you just leave me
As if part of the act
I bend to your will
Rolled beneath the rock
From the top the hill
We both play our roles
To meticulous perfection
But I've still not learned my lesson
