lyrics

Unfolding like an allegory
Every single time
The outcome will be the same
Until I find it in myself to change

I let myself fall apart
Time after time
I can't expect someone to come
And take it all away

You could never erase the past
It cannot be undone
It's impossible to go back
And change what's already done

You could never erase the past
It cannot be undone
The only way forward is to heal
The damage that has been done

You're right, It's insanity
To lay blame where the problem is me
What the hell was I expecting?

You led me down into that hole
I was the one who made it my home
It was my choice to shove it down and hide
I shut misery away and kept it all inside

I spent so long trying to be enough
turning a blind eye to what I couldn't admit
No amount of groveling, could ever be enough
To make you change your mind or actually commit

I could never change who you are
or make it work
And in holding on
I just made it worse

I could never change who you are
and make you care
I could move mountains for you
You still wouldn't be there

You're right, It's insanity
To try to convince you to love me
I've destroyed myself, unable to let you go

I'm tired of wasting my time
I'm tired of wasting my tears
Did all those song that I wrote for you fall on deaf ears?
So use me up, just like you do
Cuz you could never give back
All I gave to you

You took the oath and promptly broke it
Promises you did not intend to keep should not have been spoken
We took the oath and then you betrayed it
Every day I feel a growing sense of hatred
