Selfish

I could be so vicious for everything you've put me through but I'm choosing not to
In your cowardice state you hide behind your keyboard
You’ve gotten everything handed to you your entire life
Coddled and praised for every little thing you did
So take a step in my shoes
Your lack of responsibility won't get you through
one single day
You’re a waste of space
Take in a deep breath of reality
Taste the way it feels to be on your own
Your point of view is self-centered and wielding
It’s your way or the highway
You’re never open to any form of criticism
And you pretend you're a god among men
The only thing you're good at is hurting the people who care about you
So take a step in my shoes
Your lack of responsibility won't get you through
one single day
You’re a waste of space
Take in a deep breath of reality
Taste the way it feels to be on your own
You’re not gonna make it through this life if you continue on the path that you're on
You only care about yourself
I’m worried about you

Tightrope

I see that you've moved on so god damn easily
Your loyalty was only genuine because you needed me
It’s not something that i’m a stranger to
I’m used to letting people use me like you do
You've got your emotions color coded
I've got these words locked and loaded
You act like my tightrope
My balance pending
Leaves me grasping the thin air with no one there
Recently
I'm getting more knives thrown at me
Wasn’t surprised to see your name carved into my back
I get taken advantage of when i'm weak
It’s probably my fault
I let people walk all over me
You've got your emotions color coded
I've got these words locked and loaded
You act like my tightrope
My balance pending
Leaves me grasping the thin air with no one there
It’s gotten past the point of this being mended
You've got your emotions color coded
I've got these words locked and loaded
You act like my tightrope
My balance pending
Leaves me grasping the thin air with no one there

Don’t you fucking dare let me down
That’s what I said on the night I gave you your last chance
I sat on your bed til 4:30 in the morning
Praying for things to be different after I left
Maybe there was a chance that all the time I spent wouldn't be wasted
How am I supposed to move on
without getting the closure that I deserve
I'm afraid to be happy because you could change your mind
What if someone else will love me like you don't?
You only care about me when I'm sitting next to you
You only talk to me when you need someone to complain about your life to
You never loved me and you lied when you said you did
I was in denial and I believed your dishonest promises
I was in denial
How am I supposed to move on
without getting the closure that I deserve
I'm afraid to be happy because you could change your mind
What if someone else will love me like you don't?
I loved you harder than any love I've ever felt
don't you fucking dare let me down
I could've started fires with what I felt for you
Will I ever be good enough?
How am I supposed to move on
without getting the closure that I deserve
I'm afraid to be happy because you could change your mind
What if someone else will love me
What if someone else will love me like you don't?

Bad Luck
03:50

I lose my breath so fast
Always slipping on fault lines, falling through thin cracks
I always felt a growing sense of treason
But I learned that fear is the main source of superstition
You're the reason I'm afraid
You betrayed my trust
You've given me bad luck
You made me think I couldn't be the person I wanted to be
As the fire grew, you told everyone you knew
You betrayed my trust
You've given me bad luck
Now I hesitate to move
Because I'm terrified you'll see more flaws
I feel manipulated, I'm your voodoo doll
There's no vacancy for the love of anyone else
Inside my chest
You betrayed my trust
You've given me bad
You made me think I couldn't be the person I wanted to be
As the fire grew, you told everyone you knew
You betrayed my trust
You've given me bad luck
The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies
What’s important is that you learn from the mistakes that you've made
And only trust people who deserve to be trusted
Build your wall up to the clouds
Only those willing to climb are gonna be worth it
You betrayed my trust
You've given me bad luck
You made me think I couldn't be the person I wanted to be
As the fire grew, you told everyone you knew
You betrayed my trust
You've given me bad luck

I have these flashbacks when I think about potentially loving someone else
Reminds me of how we sealed our love on a little piece of paper and hung it on the wall
There comes a time when you realize
That there might be more yesterdays than tomorrows
But no matter how dark it gets the sun is going to rise again
What’s broken can be mended and what's hurt can be healed
I knew that something wasn't right when I heard the knock on the door
There comes a time when you realize
That there might be more yesterdays than tomorrows
But no matter how dark it gets the sun is going to rise again
What’s broken can be mended and what's hurt can be healed
I just got you back and you're gone again
"Wait for me" you said
It was all in your head
There comes a time when you realize that there might be more yesterdays than tomorrow
The carousel never stops turning
The sudden impact of a car crash caused a life long panic attack
You were so selfless you didn't deserve this
She told me not to worry she said everything would be fine
It’s a beautiful day to save lives
