I refuse to cross this bridge

I burned it to spite you and protect my image

I refuse to leave this place

I've grown roots and branches

With the intent of saving face

Take me for the fool I am

Take me for the fool I am

And everything I've touched, with these unstable hands I've fucked

I watched you grow up, without me to hold you back

So drive me to the coast, to find a place to rest my bones

I can't let myself hurt anyone again

You want the truth?

Everything is shit without you

Burdened by everything I've missed about you

Don't worry, I'm still right where you left me

I've found a place to hide away, until I forget why I feel so empty

Put on a brave face and act like everything's alright

So you've found your way, I'm still looking for mine

I'm not saying that you're selfish, just that I'm so fucking helpless, I'm not afraid to die

I'm afraid I'll never feel alive, the way I did with you

Take me for the fool I am

Take me for the fool I am

And everything I've touched, with these unstable hands I've fucked

I watched you grow up, without me to hold you back

So drive me to the coast, to find a place to rest my bones

I can't let myself hurt anyone again, again
