Thousand Cuts Video (MV)

I'm tucking you away in my mind
I'm locking it up for self-preservation
Cos I can't lose sleep anymore, anymore
I'm re-writing arguments
Or a sad admission
All of the stupid shit I'll need to do to untangle myself from you
It's all fuel for the fire
A stone to sharpen my mind
You became the nightmare
That I didn't want to wake up from but now
The daylight it doesn't seem so bad
I never thought that you'd be breaking my heart
But now it has become a death by a thousand cuts
And the moment you leave me here in limbo the more it sinks right through
I don't want to be a victim but I don't understand this
You said that you just didn't know what to do
Well what f*cking use is that to me
When I'm left out to dry while you make up your mind
Cos I gave you all the patience I had but I can't stop the poison you let in
And i'm sure when it's all done you'll still be the victim
It's all fuel for the fire
A stone to sharpen my mind
You became the nightmare
That I didn't want to wake up from but now
The daylight it doesn't seem so bad
I never thought that you'd be breaking my heart
But now it has become a death by a thousand cuts
And the moment you leave me here in limbo the more it sinks right through
I don't want to be a victim but I don't understand this
I guess I wasn't enough and that's ok
Cos I don't want to be whatever it is you need
I'll go back into the cold if it means I'll stop being burned
A shadow will be all that remains and I'm sure you'll feel better tomorrow
You conquered me and walked away
What can I salvage, from here where I lay
I'm tired of growing up
And I just need time to stop
Cos the colours are changing but not going grey
The colours are changing but not going grey
I never thought that you'd be breaking my heart
But now it has become a death by a thousand cuts
And the moment you leave me here in limbo the more it sinks right through
I don't want to be a victim but I don't understand this
