And now Im finding it hard to breathe I have to think about letting oxygen into my lungs and exhaling slowly cause I have worse things to worry about then catching my breath.
And I'm no longer hungry because I need so much more than food to fill up my body,
I'm looking for peace, peace in you and peace in my mind
and some kind of sign
that everything is going to be okay.
But as soon as I take the directions I've been given someone changes the map and leads me down a different road.
Tell me how many times do I have to cry myself to sleep
and how many times do I have to see myself bleed
so that everybody can welcome me in this home and trust that I'll be just fine on my own
I know last time I was alone I ****** it all up and trust me that wasn't the first time it was just the first time I took it that far

but what does that say about you and every one else who's said they were there for me
but never bothered when life got too dark for me.
And I just needed a light but instead all I see are headlights
coming towards me and the soles of my shoes
are glued to the road this time
cause I'm too dazed and confused tonight
to know which way is freedom and which way is the noose.
So it's roadkill or the rope around my neck I'm left to choose from
can't you see that you leave me no choice except extinction
from this life I once believed I could learn to love
turns out you can never be honest cause that just makes you fragile
And they'll promise and promise they're there till the end well it seems  I've run out of road to run on
and by the empty street I know there's no one I can depend on.
