It's been over a year since we last spoke. Not much has changed, you're still a fucking joke and you still drain the life from me. You're not the friend I need. Your standards are low much like my self esteem. I hear the words that you say, but they're not what you mean. You may say that I'm growing backwards but you have lost your way.

Here I am again. Another journey's been abandoned. It's like I've suddenly crash landed and I have never felt so stranded.
And I know you said our was up, you've packed your stuff you've had enough. You think that I'm always alright and that I've never had it tough. I guess that's what I'm asking for at least until the day my breathing stops.
Take a minute of your time to address this steady rate of decline. Stop pretending that it's over your head whilst i assess what's truly mine. Cos I fall into deep and tripped over my feet when the steps I take turned out too steep we get so caught up in all the webs we weave, that i can't hide behind because they're on my sleeve
I thought I had the answers, I thought I took my chances. I laid them out for everyone to listen to see how far I'd go. How far will you go?
How far will you go?
As I grew older, my dreams grew smaller. It's just the getting used to it.

Shut Me Off

I've been playing the same games again, I can't help myself. I keep on jumping in, I spread myself too thin yeah it's not working out.
And I'll never open up again, it's a fucking waste of time. Feeling vulnerable makes me sick, wish I could leave the past behind. I think I'm better on my own, I'm still beating myself up. I'm still struggling to come to terms that I'll never be good enough.
I know I'm a pessimist but I've always had the right intentions.
I'm trying to find a reason to open up my eyes when the world seems to damn bright for me. It's fighting with this feeling that everything's lost meaning, I'm buried six feet under by my insecurities.
Another wasted day, same thoughts in my brain. Another wasted day thinking of the wasted time I hardly sleep cos when I dream my dreams are all my memories, twisted into awful scenes it all comes back to you and me.

Stop reaching out. I'll no longer be around. To hear the good and bad, I know it's sad, you wanted this now. You pulled the rug beneath my feet but now times have changed and it's not the same i can't explain how as time goes on it still feels too soon, I still feel your presence in my bedroom. And you're still holding me back and I'm lost
It's time to walk away and move forward with our lives, I'm struggling to comprehend how nothing could save us this time. Please cut me off, I'll block you out, your short temper and my self doubt. Is all said and done now? I guess nothing could save us this time.
We need to cut the ties, I know its hard but we've said our goodbyes. And maybe in time, we'll reach a place where we'll both feel fine. I can't sleep because I dream of you every night. I count the hours until morning I'm just lying, turning, trapped inside my mind.
Whatever it takes we need to go our separate ways, take all of my friends and ruin my name. Thanks for the sleepless nights and all the wasted days, we destroyed one another and now i'll hate what we've become
Remember when we got drunk in the snow? Did you love me? No one knows. I know that I'm still haunted by your ghost.

Pieces

Why can't I drag myself out this fucking hole? It feels sometimes that this was always destined to go wrong and I'm glad you're fine, I only wish that I could say the same and I've gone blind from all the fingers pointing, showing who is to blame.
I am broken, cant find the pieces.
I'm still replaying the last twelve months on a loop inside my head. To remind myself of all my mistakes I'm hanging by a thread. I want to wake up fine and erase my mind. I'm staring at the ceiling begging, pleading, wishing for some change. But I'll stay the same
I know its funny but I really don't know you anymore and you really fucking changed. So have I, I know I'm not who I was before and we never could be saved. Time goes on, people change but I'll stay the same
This pressure crushing down on me, it takes me to the point, questioning my sanity.
