So save your words and I'll fade away now
Give me a match and I'll burn it all down
Pick yourself up as I walk away now
Because it's dark inside and we're all alone
I tried to find the meaning of it all
But the weight is just too much to hold
These roots run dry inside of me
I see myself crawling through this pain
Gently bending but never broken
I'm just another fool to this rat race of life
Maybe I'm just deemed to be as weak as everyone else
So self-doubts have brought me closer to hell
I seek this exile to bring me further
I can't resist, I feel disconnected
My own self-worth has been deeply kept
Tracing back to the time it started
I wish that I could change my facade
Steps were taken
Measures made
I could never imagine anything else
What it's like on the other side
Another night
Another tale
Waiting by the phone
There's nothing I can do
Smoke to numb the bitter strife
Another night
Another tale
Waiting by the phone
It feels empty in this hallway
I know you left to save yourself
Keep what's left of yourself
It's time to move on now
I can't practice what I preach
But I'll make amends to myself
I know I'll hurt as time passes by
Keep what's left of yourself
It's time to move on now
I write these things when I'm not sober
So I'll mull on it and pretend everything's fine
Keep what's left of yourself
It's time to move on now
Pull the strings on my heart to make it beat once again
You're not alone
