Learning to Let Go 05:22

I'm tired of acting like everything's okay when it's fucking not, I've had enough. We've been fighting, tension's rising, we're not talking, and I just don't know what to do anymore. And maybe I'm getting tired of writing sad song after sad song about you You get to a point where every day's another mountain to climb, and I can feel myself slipping, further away from you I've tried to put this all behind me, and I swore I'd never let it get in the way, my best wasn't enough. But what else is new, this ain't the first time I've let my heart think on its own, and it did me in. It seems I've let you down again, my dear. I know everything will be okay in the end, but all the bullshit in between makes you wonder if it's really worth the fight. I always told myself that things fall apart so things could fall into place, got me by for a while but things never seemed to fall the right way And I know you know that this song is about you, and I don't fucking care how much it might offend you. I miss the days we used to spend talking for hours on end, before that day at Gazebo Park. I know you never really took those feelings to heart, and knowing that was the hardest part. I'll act like it doesn't cross my mind every day, if that makes it okay. I guess it just didn't mean as much to you as it all meant to me What's the point in hanging on if you're just poison to my being I wrote verse after verse about how much you meant to me, and it wasn't enough. It'll never be enough. And maybe I'm getting tired of writing sad song after sad song about you You get to a point where every day's another mountain to climb, and I can feel myself slipping, further away from you I've tried to put this all behind me, and I swore I'd never let it get in the way, my best wasn't enough. But what else is new, this ain't the first time I've let my heart think on its own, and it did me in. It seems I've let you down again, my dear.

I wish I could say that I was wishing you well And I know you're wishing that it doesn't have to end this way I think it's such a shame to build a bridge and burn it down the next day. I never thought I'd be so glad that you're so far away. I wish I could say that we could just be friends But my first mistake was trusting you and it'll be my last. It seems like every demon finds a pretty face to hide behind. Waiting patiently for a man with a heart of gold, to steal and tear apart. I should've known from a girl like you to expect such acts of spite I was just another one to fill the void, just your boyfriend for the night I guess one kiss meant more to me than it could ever mean to you I know you're trying hard to hold on, but someone like you is someone I'm willing to lose I hope your heavy conscience and your free spirit clash. I hope it's all too much, and you feel like shit by the next time we cross paths. And I hope a piece of my innocence was a good enough parting gift. I hope it was worth drowning in a sea of dissonance I should've known from a girl like you to expect such acts of spite I was just another one to fill the void, just your boyfriend for the night I guess one kiss meant more to me than it could ever mean to you I know you're trying hard to hold on, but I let go. I guess this is what happens when I get my hopes up I never was too fond of growing up I put my guard down and you locked me up Wishing you weren't on my mind but that's never enough. I want to forget the last two weeks, the phones calls, the texts, everything in between. I want to forget that night in your car, we laid hand in hand and watched the stars. You got what you wanted and threw it away, and you expected me to act like that's okay. You stupid girl, we will never be the same.

I've spent the past few years just trying to feel whole But the demons still come out when I'm alone Home sweet home ain't all it's made it up to be All your yelling and screaming have taken its toll on me I've got a weight on my shoulders that I can't seem to shake Been there since I was seven and you're the one making it stay You've taken a part of me and I'll never forgive you But at the end of the day I'll still say "I love you too" Been about a month since I've seen you at home You promised me a week, four weeks ago Those purple sheets are all you really know And I'm worried sick that one day you'll leave me, all alone I always think of the worst things and place them in my head And play them back over and over and over and over again Some say "pessismism", and some say I'm being unhealthy These thoughts haunt my mind and they will be the death of me I've spent the past few years just trying to feel whole But the demons still come out when I'm alone (x8) I'm all alone
