No stone left unturned, my cards are on the table
Left alone to feel nothing, well I feel nothing
Did i learn from my mistakes, I can’t think of a better risk to take
All emotion has been drained from my eyes, you see the stains
Our talks never went in your favor
If you’d let me go, I’d let you know
I’ve gone through it in my head a million times before
How much I’d love to set our story to a different score
I want to be selfish, I want to be happy
I just can’t be myself anymore
I’ve weighed out the pros and cons and / I know it’s what’s for the best
We’ll both be happier in the end / you know it’s what’s for the best
I’m still not getting better
And I hope you’re getting worse
I could meet you in the middle
It would be my curse
but in the end there’s no catharsis, no feeling of hope
I’m trapped in my own head bitter and all alone
I’ve gone through it in my head a million times before
How much I’d love to set our story to a different score
I want to be selfish, I want to be happy
I just can’t be myself anymore
