I’ve given up before, I hate it more
this time – Though I’m doing it again
and I’m blending in, so
you won’t even know me apart from
someone who has never felt your heart
That one last call that I made, I felt completely invasive and
You mentioned nothing except for what I asked about
You had nothing you wanted to talk to me about
I always felt like to live I had to give my life away
And I’ve been holding all this doubt and insecurity and
I’ve been stuck inside this imaginary house to which you hold the key
And I’ve been trying to get out and that might be the end of me
I’m giving up and I hate to face the world alone
Because I’ve failed to capture you and bring you home
You once told me the way and I’ve been trying to get there
I realize I’m late, but I know you still care
And I can’t serve a life sentence with no happy ending
I’ve been crazy but I wasn’t pretending
The beauty of fate is that it makes life not fair
It won’t even matter if I ever get there
The place will be empty where you used to be
The door is locked and I don’t have the key
And even though I have no way of knowing where to go
I’m doing it again and blending in so
I don’t have to be afraid of those choices that I made
I always needed you to be my escape
I’ve been a hostage inside my own mind
I’ve left so many people behind
Self struggling and now living in this mess I’ve made
I’d still give anything for you to be my escape
But I can’t expect you to give what you already gave
All the doubt and insecurity
and even the imaginary house I made
Where I was stuck inside thinking you held the key
Near to your heart, protecting me
I was dying while you were watching me
and though it’s sad, it’s reality
I fought for you so long
This whole year, and beyond
It was for nothing, but it wasn’t wrong
I could have had you but I tried to save my own skin
And now that’s exactly what you’re doing
