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
