Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I try to breathe

Memories overtaking me

I try to face them, but

The thought is too much to conceive

[Verse 2]

I only know that I can change

Everything else just stays the same

So now I step out of the darkness

That my life became, 'cause

[Verse 3]

I just needed someone to talk to

You were just too busy with yourself

You were never there for me

To express how I felt

I just stuffed it down

Now I'm older and I feel like

I could let some of this anger fade

But it seems the surface I am scratching

Is the bed that I have made

[Verse 4]

So where were you?

When all this I was going through

You never took the time

To ask me just what you could do

[Verse 5]

I only know that I can change

Everything else just stays the same

So now I step out of the darkness

That my life became, 'cause

[Verse 6]

I just needed someone to talk to

You were just too busy with yourself

You were never there for me

To express how I felt

I just stuffed it down

Now I'm older and I feel like

I could let some of this anger fade

But it seems the surface I am scratching

Is the bed that I have made

[Verse 7]

I never meant to fade away

I never meant to fade

[Verse 8]

I just needed someone to talk to

You were just too busy with yourself

You were never there for me

To express how I felt

I just stuffed it down

Now I'm older and I feel like

I could let some of this anger fade

But it seems the surface I am scratching

Is the bed that I have made

[Verse 9]

I try to breathe
