lyrics

i never thought i'd carry a weight like this
but i've held it for the past year
and nothing takes away the fear
of how you'll never be back here

and i know i'm not perfect for you, that's fine
i 've only ever done all i can do
to try to make you as happy as i can

but i can't stare honestly in the mirror
knowing i failed to help you see things for the better

18 months and still i'm up all night
i thought you said that i'd be alright
i can't shut my eyes on an empty side
i've been trying to move along
hoping that you'll see i just want you to be fine with me
rewind me to a point where i was

you always found it easy to walk away
i only knew how to take the blame
and nothing takes away the ache
in the back of my mind

and i know you wanted honesty well alright
you only ever cared for yourself, it seems
you always made me as fragile as you could

but i was built to break
i know that i was built to break

cos i'm an open wound still infected with all of you
our burning house and the water in the street ran out
the house we built burned to the ground

18 months and still i'm up all night
i thought you said that i'd be alright
i can't shut my eyes
i've been trying to move along
hoping that you'll see i just want you to be fine with me
rewind me to a point where i was

you want to know what's wrong?
well i've been biting my tongue for far too long
but you keep asking if i've moved on
and these are words are stuck behind grit teeth
they're drowning the way that you made me

well i've been biting my tongue
(you want to know what wrong?)
and i'm sick of tasting blood
(well i've been biting my tongue)
and you want to know what's wrong
(and i'm sick of tasting blood)
and you keep asking if i've moved on

Perfectly encapsulates the teenage experience. Finding this album while still young and in high school was the best decision I've made in quite awhile. charlesjr
