I tried to fall asleep
But I couldn't let you leave
My head is filled with memories
Unwinding...torturing me
I walked the room for answers
Searching underneath my skin
Punched a wall but it didn't hurt as much
As it did when you left me

I can't love any more
I can't love me like you did
Does it even make sense?
To say I want you out of my head
But I want you back in my chest
And when you reach me
Even if it's in another place, another time
I don't know what you'll say when you see me
I don't know if you'll remember my eyes

I let go of the drugs
But I couldn't forget about us
My armours up more than ever
Cause I have no one to protect me now
I moved away to the coast
Tried to find some calmness in the waves
I still sit in bed for hours
Wondering if your life's better without me

Chorus

You couldn't handle the pressure
Of walking in my shoes
And when it came down to it
I guess you had nothing to lose
(Except me. Except me.)
You're so stuck in your ways
Why the **** did I think you'd change?
I guess I need to grow some spine
To get you off my mind.
