lyrics

I’m just asking for reason for the sinking.
I’m just asking for reason for the loss of myself.
I guess I’m looking for strength behind an answer,
instead of looking for justification of myself.
Sometimes you say what you say just to get through the day,
But I can no longer afford the luxury of lies.
Do you ever tell yourself “No I’m doing just fine"?
But I can no longer afford the luxury of lies.
It's not a razor.
But it sure as hell cuts like one.
It's like a gun to the back of my head, weighing back potential with each fucking thought I make.
I ask him and I say “is it so wrong that I picked one and you picked the other? They both achieve a means to an end don't they?”
It’s not like I knew what I was getting myself into.
It’s not like I saw this kind of thing getting out of hand.
But I am young, I am naïve.
It’s such a long time. Such a long time.
Oh god I wish I’d picked the other some days.
And there’s a part of me that tries to scream I never had a choice…
and maybe I never did.
But I’ll end my own life before I renounce my responsibility as a person who tried.
I know a cut can be sewn shut,
and that a wound can be cleaned.
But how many times can I bleed before someone notices? (Or it all bleeds out?)
I know a cut can be sewn shut,
and that a wound can be cleaned.
But how many times can I bleed before someone notices? (Or it all bleeds out?)
Will they ever?
Sometimes you say what you say just to get through the day,
But I can no longer afford the luxury of lies.
Do you ever tell yourself “No I’m doing just fine”?
But I can no longer afford the luxury of lies.
Oh god I wish I’d picked the other some days. Oh god I wish I'd picked the other some days.
I wish that I could say I never had a choice.
