I cheated you
I broke you
I hurt you
Now I'm sitting in this cell of white
Thinking of all the times I've bled you
Arms cut red
I caused your pain
I hate myself for it
You mean too much for me to do that again
Sitting by these walls of white
I think I'll try harder
To earn you
To keep you
To protect you
You call me your Hero
But when have I ever saved you
So far I've only caused pain
I'm changing
For the sake of "Us"
I'm losing my mind
In this building of white
Wondering when I will hold you again
I see you when it's black
I feel you when it's red
I hear you when it's white
These colors dancing around my head
Reminding me of your torture
480 times I've felt your pain
4 times your heartache
3 times your tears
I've killed you over and over
It's high time I lived up to what you call me
And be your Hero
My visions going black now
So I'll see you again
In this facility of white
