Lyrics

I'm sorry for the nights so dark that you could barely see
all the pain I was refusing your love to set free
How I couldn't escape and I couldn't explain
you don't have to do your worst to get the best of me
What is there to say and who's to say what there's to do
I'll never make it up to you
by drooling over dreams or replaying the past
I don't think you care about anything at all
It doesn't have to feel like it's just you up against the world
But you don't believe me, not a single word I say
And I don't think you need me, so it doesn't matter anyway
I guess you don't deserve me, not what I put you through
But don't you ever think I'd lose the love I'll always have for you
I would rather ignore what I couldn't see
Why pay the price when the lesson is free
And to tell you the truth now I always lie awake
I'm only staring at the ceiling
Never had to count sheep waiting for the day to break
I don't think you care about anything I've got to say
You don't believe me, tell me if I'm right or wrong
And I could not hear you, not a single word you say
But you don't believe me and it doesn't really work that way
You tried to tell me I should rest my weary head
I couldn't sleep instead I closed my eyes
But the sooner that I did, the more I realized
I hated coming down and I never learned to fly
I'm learning how to call these things my own
And now I know that I can manifest
But just because I can, don't mean I don't have to try
Now I'm scared to death that I'm never gonna die
