don't wanna watch you
morph into the monster
my brain thinks you are

never thought we'd be like this
or imagined i would
run so far

but i'm afraid to see you change
into a person that doesn't
care about me

my brain says that you never did
but i think that's just
to make this easy

or easier because this is
one of the hardest things
i have ever done

cutting you out
doesn't make me happy
i don't feel like i've won

all i've got are old promises
bittersweet memories
and a hole in my chest

never wanted
to walk away
but couldn't stomach to see the rest
