There’s not a day that passes by The pain has not amassed inside It’s breaking me down to the ground It’s like I crashed and died It’s hard to leave your past behind Especially when you’re last in line And half the time it acts like vines And wraps inside my fragile mind Hiding in plain view it seems The same old crap I choose between Taking who I used to be And keep it subdued beneath Close to dead and losing me You took a chance and you believed So did I, I let you lead And grabbed the line you threw to me You saved me, you made me And through it all you changed me forever You love me, you hate me And through it all you changed me forever You’ve given me a chance to change Helped me in ways I can’t explain I’ll never understand the way You took my hand with no dismay Now I’m who I am today And that’s the man I plan to stay But can’t escape, I can’t evade You stranded me and ran away Why’d you do it why’d you leave Why’d you help me find my feet Why’d you guide me blindingly Then turn and say goodbye to me All this time I tried to be The person you applied to me This lie you feed that I’d succeed Is why I’m me, a dying breed
