I've gone and decided to flip it over to a new page
Maybe somewhere out there is a chapter to find brand new
Because where it all stands I feel the grip growing at my throat
I'll be headed out the door better not forget to grab my coat
The winters here always seem so harsh
But where better the times you stood by my side

I know that this is not what you wanted and neither did I
I thought I'd always be the one to dry your eye
There is nothing here left for me
There is no way for me to bring you to see

I've been ripping every follicle of my hair right out
Screaming until my throat closes up, you can't even hear me shout
Oh what a mess I've put myself in
How could I put myself here again
Driving myself so ******* mad
But I could never say without you I'd be glad

I am so sorry but I feel it coming I am going to need my space
Though I never wanted to part ways with your grace
I've just been going straight out of my mind
I fear for the time that I've lost to find
The cure to what makes this soul ache so
In you I cant escape the thought that I know

I've seen the way you smack your head against the wall
I've wanted to be there every time to pick you up before the fall
I've seen the way you walk your way right into the wolf's den
Expecting this time you'll come to find a friend
I've seen the start and stop of each time you've danced that dance
I've never looked down on you but always given second glance

The story was so great from the start
Should have guessed It would be too good to be true
I could never be the one meant for you
Or maybe one day you'll come around to see
But by then I'll no longer be
The story is a scrap
You're all full of crap
I'll be on my way out
I won't look back until I've made my way to the top
Speak now or nothing you say will make me stop
