I always lose sleep around this time of year
Think of every situation (I'll find the one that destroys me.)
Today things were taken away from me
Every step I took, I watched something else fade
I hang on to everything cause I'm the one who lost it.
I didn't know what all this would cost me
This time we settled with words.
We walked away. Settled.
Well I never wanted to be so confused.
When did I become the one with something to prove?
This only survives if you let it. It only heals if you mend it.
Easy enough to back away - shrug off your regrets.
Let it die, let it fade, Forget.
Keep telling yourself “it's for the best”
Never the one who was good at telling sad stories.
I just want you out of my fucking head
Follow your ambition into the fucking ground
I told my heart
Forget my past
This winter takes everything from me.
I'm too fucking cold. I can't see change
