I was never quite there where I clearly belonged
It's like injecting my veins with shards of glass
And my heart bleeds to death with these lonely songs
While these tears sting my cheeks of things in the past.
It will never be something I can walk away from
At least it hasn't felt that way in years
You looked at me like copper when clearly I was chrome
I could never quite read you, but you knew my fears.
It's like touching the sand without seeing the ocean
It's like reaching the sky but falling back down
And the poison that flows through me was supposed to be potion
And the smile I should have is turning to a frown.
You could never decide what you really wanted
Yet, I could see it in your eyes 'til this very day
So, now I'll live a life that will clearly be haunted
By all the things you were afraid to say.
