I’m taking hits from every direction
And I can’t seem to stand on my feet, without you
You’re a constant burden, and the source of my aggression
I hate admitting I miss you

I’m so sick and tired of you my dear
Been steady running in circles but not this year
I’m so set on finding some space to clear
My head of all conversation I still hear

I’m finally pulling myself from the wreckage
Battered and bruised, there’s not much left to lose
I’ve got places and directions to choose
Stay the **** out of my life, I hate you

Those beautiful, green eyes
They wreak havoc, your disguise

I’m a wrecking ball of hatred
You can see it in my eyes
A swift swinging hammer
I’m just saying my goodbyes

I keep on hoping maybe one day
You and I can push our differences aside
Even in a perfect world
You’ll never change
I’m so sick and tired of living this way

What do I have to do to make you understand,
That I want nothing to do with you.
You’re more than just a problem.
You’re a nuisance and a thief.
You stole my feet from under me.

When I’m with you I let a piece of myself die
Holding onto me, something’s just not right

I’ve got cheap emotions and they’re bleeding through
I wear them on my sleeve and it’s all for you
Even in a perfect world
You’ll never change
There’s no sense for me to be living this way

What do I have to do to make you understand,
That I want nothing to do with you.
You’re more than just a problem.
You’re a nuisance and a thief.
You ripped my heart right out of me

When I’m with you I let a piece of myself die
Holding onto me, something’s just not right

I caught myself reminiscing again
I just don’t understand why things change from what we planned
I made mistakes, I wear them well
I’m just trying hard to prevail

And I don’t have much confidence
Left to take advice from all my friends
And it seems so ******* useless
See I always stray away in the end
I’ve dug a hole too deep
Find it hard to find release
In these situations you complicate
It’s these growing pains that I’ve grown to hate

Now I lay alone on my bedroom floor
Stare at an endless sky, there’s a light that never dies
And a bottle in my hand that just seems to pass the time
I’m just trying hard to survive

I’ve become what I always feared
And I miss what I once held dear
I just don’t understand why things change from what we planned
I caught myself reminiscing again

I’ve spent so many years by your side
Can’t take back this feeling and I wonder why
You pushed me aside, left me to rot in my own mind

I taste turmoil on cold lips and feel the pain
As she loosens the grip on my wrists
I’ve come to find that I don’t have a stable mind
You leave me feeling so worthless all the time

Everything changes and everyone grows
But no one ever really lets go
Remember me, keep me in frame
Don’t let me fade away
I’ll always wait

Do I even exist anymore?
Am I dust on the shelf that you choose to ignore?
Do I even exist anymore?
