lyrics

Though I can’t be alone,
I’ve got an acid tongue,
And I will push you away,
Nothing you’re able to say,
Darkness clouds my brain,
Who could make someone this way,
Through my eyes ever glazed,
Even in hindsight my vision’s a haze.

Couldn’t God damn someone else?
Give them the feelings I felt,
Reset me back to the start,
Allow me to open my heart,
Couldn’t God damn someone else?
Couldn’t God damn someone else?

Well, I went down to the sea,
To scatter what was left of me,
And I crashed into the waves,
Therein I did something brave,
I pulled myself back out,
Destined to live with this doubt,
I need to rearrange,
My deathly fear of change.

Couldn’t God damn someone else?
Give them the feelings I felt,
Reset me back to the start,
Allow me to open my heart,
Couldn’t God damn someone else?
Couldn’t God damn someone else?

If you think you’ll find a reason in my thought,
Then you’ll never understand how hard I have fought.

Acceptance is my only way,
I’m sorry I drove you insane,
I need to disappear,
Because there’s not much left for me here,
So just move on with your life,
While I struggle with mine,
One thing I need you to know,
You really did help me grow.
