Why do I reach for the unattainable?
Why do I love the things that will never love me back?
Why do I need the things I cannot get?
Why can't I make you see that you mean so much to me?
Why can't I just tell you that you make me happy?
Why can't I tell you that I can't breathe when you're gone?
Why can't I tell you that I think you're perfect?
Why can't I just say that you saved me?
Why can't I just say that I can't last without you?
Why can't I just say it?
Why can't I just tell you, I love you?
Maybe it's because, I know deep down inside,
That I'm nothing to you, I'm just another girl.
I'm just another one of your admirers,
Another star struck broken heart.
And maybe I am. And I hate it.

Hello little girl.
It's me again,
The monster in your head.
It's been awhile,
Since I've paid you a visit.
The presents I left on your arms,
Have long since faded.
Pretty little girl,
Don't you know?
You can't escape this.
You gave me your soul,
You signed the deed on your wrist.

Crossing beside a gravestone path
as the sky closes in
Foot falls meet with deaf ears
and the clouds open up
Looking over the regrown grass
Where the rain came down
Where I know youd be looking back
In the fog we drown

You never told me
and now its too late
you werent the only victim
why couldnt you wait?

Open to me,
we could both breathe
You breathe through me
please speak wholly!
Open to me!

Please dont fool me!
Don't undo me
You have to speak
Now, speak through me
Open to me!

A path between old headstones
A suffering you didnt know!
If tears furnish the weeds
On the trail growing
Better than the water
from you to me
the path outlined
To your souless tomb
will grow stronger
Please make room!

Open to me,
we could both breathe
You breathe through me
please speak wholly!
Open to me!

Please dont fool me!
Don't undo me
You have to speak
Now, speak through me
*Open to me!

Words ricochet inside my brain,
I can't find a way to block the pain.
With their every punch, their every threat,
The closer to the edge I get.
They lace a noose around my neck,
Their swords at my back, it's an upward trek.

Fighting for a chance to survive,
Without enough light to really thrive.
My wrists are tied, my mouth is gagged,
My soul's in tatters, my mind is shagged.
My heart has broken into unfixable pieces,
I'm running out of hope, I need more reasons.

Throw me behind bars, take away my freedom,
Someday you will pay for what you have done.
You tore off my wings, because you wanted to fly,
You took away my pride, stole me away from my sky.
So beware, someday I'll break free from these chains,
And I will laugh in your face, for my glory is your bane.

Promises don't mean a thing to me,
Don't pollute the air with your empty wishes,
Make a move, show me that you'll fight for me,
Cause I'm questioning your alliances,
Show me you've got a heart,
Don't tell me that you love me.

Broken promises make broken hearts,
I know, I've been at both ends.
Don't lie to me, we know this never lasts.
Fate will cut my strings, and you'll be left alone.
I won't promise you a thing,
But I'm fighting back, I'm trying.

Frozen, but at least I'm not going in reverse,
Still I need to go somewhere, get out of this place.
I'm on fire, I'm burning bright,
Don't put me out, I'm scared of the dark.
Douse me in kerosene,
And let me burn.

Can you see me now?
Is my voice finally being heard?
I've got a feeling I'm being ignored,
Until you need someone to judge.
Did you see me in the light of glory,
Or am I only being noticed now?
Can you only see what meets the eye?

I will not let you define me.
I will not be defined by you.
I have my scars, but I'm alive.
Don't you know I feel too?
I'm not like you, no, I'd never be cruel.
I'm fighting to survive,
Yeah, everyday's the usual duel.
But I'm not like you, no, I'd never be cruel.

I'm better than this, don't you know?
I'm not gonna let myself sink so low.
I've got a feeling you've got it hard,
But you have to fight your pain,
Don't take it out on me, cause I can't take it.
You'll look back on this, and you'll regret,
Every word you said, every empty threat.

I will not let you define me.
I will not be defined by you.
I have my scars, but I'm alive.
Don't you know I feel too?
I'm not like you, no, I'd never be cruel.
I'm fighting too,
Yeah, everyday is a usual duel.
But I'm not like you, no, I'd never be cruel.

I've got better things to do,
I've got better things to do,
I will not be controlled by you,
No, not by you.

Well here I am again,
Pushing away my friend.
Trying to break free,
Of everything hurting me.
A bullet to the head,
Not one single tear shed.
Falling apart inside,
Trying to run, nowhere to hide.
