I think the hardest person to love, is yourself.
You know every mistake, every thought, every lie.
You know who you've hurt. How you hurt them.
All your flaws. Why they're flaws.
But you can't walk away from yourself.
Or hide from yourself.
Or lie to yourself.
Because in the end, you know.
You know that you need to face yourself.
Forgive yourself.
Love yourself.
Or you'll be stuck.
Stuck between what's real
And what you're pretending is real
Stuck between hurting someone
And trying to protect them at the same time
But you end up hurting them anyway.
And now you hate yourself for it.
You couldn't love them.
Because you tried to face yourself,
Forgive yourself,
Love yourself...
But couldn't.
You say you’ve fallen
So far, you can’t get up
I’ll try and help you,
But it won’t be enough

Intoxicated, you are
By things unsaid
You need to stop this
Before you wind up dead

Don’t let go
No, don’t let go
This is not the end
Please don’t let go

I’ve watched you do it
Over and over again
I couldn’t stop you
I just can’t stop the spin

Don’t let go
No, don’t let go
This is not the end
Please don’t let go

You say you’ve fallen
So far, you can’t get up
I’ll try and help you,
But it won’t be enough
Just maybe time will run away and leave life behind
Say you’ll continue to stay away just to keep me alive

Mean words and sweet faces won’t reason with goodbye
Things change, you cared, and hope walked a thousand miles

Standing, looking, assuming
Bury those old eyes you thought were blooming  

The truth is sitting in the dark, waiting for you to shine the light
You were promised death, and life forgot to teach you to fight

The world choked on it’s dreams and crashed into a fence
Love missed it’s stop, and now I’m left in suspense  

Happiness is locked in the room next door,
We’d try to find the key if only our feet were flat on the floor

I’ll pour my hate down the sink and proceed to turn my back
Melt the snow with the glow of my smile so I can no longer see the tracks
A broken heart is typical, and affliction will track you down
Yet you can never find the reason you persist to be found
Find the reasons that you smile and never let them go
Reflect on times that you have when your happiness will show
Embrace those moments and engrave them in your mind
'Cause you'll need 'em when disaster comes and breaks you every time
And in your mind it appears to be the end
Just realize over time, you will fatefully ascend
But for now, let's just pretend.
That everything's ok and your strength will never bend
And from experience, the **** never stops
You'll always fall face first and you'll never fight it off
So, when you're down, don't you ever try to give up
Don't you settle for that filth and try to say that it's enough.
Some days you tend to wonder,
If things will ever change
Or will we keep repeating
To live this life of disarray

Some days you wake up,
To the sound of failing love
Anticipating someone
Will say they’ve had enough

Is there still hope?
Is there still hope for us?

Some nights you lie down,
But you just can’t get to sleep
Because those harsh words
In your head are on repeat

Is there still hope?
Is there still hope for us?
For us.

I'm a wheel that came in third
I'm a hummingbird who forgot the words
All these months have come to nothing
And this track I can't keep running

Where were you when I was here?
You just somehow disappeared
I lost you, but I also lost me
I'm just a ship, hoping I won't sink

I'm not sorry, because you lied to me
And you blamed me for everything
And because you gave up on me
I'm not sorry because you're not

I don't care, because you didn't
Even try to understand me
And because you turned your back on me
I don't care because you don't
