I'm ashamed that our story's always been the same.
I'm destroying myself and you're taking the blame.
To see your smile, to feel your touch.
It's been a while since it felt like enough.
You try to hold on while I get it together, but how long can you wait for things to get better?
I'm losing myself so I push you away.
Now when I need you the most, you have nothing to say.
How did this happen?
How could I hurt you?
After the struggles I know that you've been through.
I'm sinking fast and I'm pulling you in.
Breaking us with things I let get under my skin.
Got to find a way to make this right.
The future we saw used to be so bright.
It came and went and I can't find it again.
I lost the light in my life and my closest friend.
I can't replace what time has erased, but I refuse to make the same mistakes.
I've been blind in a rage.
Got to change my ways before my anger makes me whither away.
Can't let my perception get the better of me.
Enslaved by my depression, I just want to be free.
It all keeps building up, every half empty cup.
What I have never feels like enough.
Can't drop the baggage that's left, it's weighing on my chest.
Keeping me from doing what I know is best.
I gotta drop it, but I can't stop it.
Every time I find the good the bad just tops it.
I try and fail, you're ready to bail.
It's too late now, but I can finally see the one to blame for everything is me.
This love was always the answer.
For far too long I've let my anger turn into cancer.
No one can love me if I can't love my life.
The Truth has finally cut through like a knife.
Got to pick up the pieces from the damage I've done.
I've lost a lot to my anger, but I won't lose the one.
Can't fall back into more of the same.
This time I'm gonna need to prove that I've changed.
I have to get you back, whatever the cost.
Life's just a game, without you I know that I lost.
