Take a picture, change the stats
You weren't the first to be the last
You're everything I've never had
I'd give it all to want you back
But still I wait here on my own
Suffer through the lies I've told
Regrets won't cease to let alone
All the trauma we've been shown
I know that I should let it be
Cause I won't find the one for me
Don't call it love or disagree
I'm nothing that you want to see
I watch the light blink on and off
One night stand, one missed call
I know you never cared at all
So don't be scared to let me fall
I need to break, I need to bend
I need a place my soul can mend
Cause everything I've known pretend
Approaching me, yet once again
I don't know why I choose to stay
Or why I mean the words I say
I know inside it's not ok
But I can't look the other way
He talks to me to get inside
He sugarcoats the pain with lies
Telling me to end my life
I know he's wrong, it feels so right
I couldn't change you if I tried
Couldn't stop the tears I cry
I bleed until I feel alive
And no one even wonders why
