You look at me with those eyes
The ones that criticize
The ones that know everything
The ones that watch me while I sleep

And words spill from your throat
The ones I've always known
And now I finally realize
That you were laughing the whole time

As you drink your night away
I watch your fall from grace
While you look at me and smile
With that sad look upon your face

I wonder where I am
And what I've done to become
This ugly monster that I see
Staring right back at me

This is never what I wanted for us, dear
Now It's all crashing down
Now you're the only thing I fear
Who you were meant everything to me
And now I'm trapped inside the thing
That you wanted me to be

So I'm going home.

You're a river in a drought
You're the bad taste in my mouth
That I can't seem to wash away
No matter how loud I shout

Like a lion stalks it's prey
You're with me every day
And like a brick against my head
You silence everything I say

As we feed ourselves to death
I long for your breath
But there isn't anything
That's left inside of me

I remember where I am
And what I've done to become
This ugly thing that I see
Growing inside of me

This is never what I wanted for us, dear
Now It's all crashing down
Now you're the only thing I fear
Who you were meant everything to me
And now I'm trapped inside the thing
That you wanted me to be

So I'm going--
