Constant reminders in the back of my skull
Seared into my brain, I can never let them go
I've taken every piece of you, expect nothing in return
I can't seem to bother caring; I don't think you'll ever learn!

I'm hoping, for your sake, that you realize what's happening
You can't keep holding on when I'm incapable of changing myself

You built me up despite my resistance to your love
A wasted effort, a waste of time
If you truly love me, you'll let me go

What keeps you fighting on my behalf, as I fall back down below, and it's clear I've given up?
What keeps you fighting on my behalf?
Why do you do this to yourself when it's clear I'm not enough?
Your bravery, your compassion -- how could I forget?
Meanwhile, I'm not conscious, my body's caving in

The problem all along is that I can't let go
You're the only good thing for me
I just had to let you know

There are times you needed me I was busy feeling sorry for myself
I can keep apologizing
We both know the clock has run out

Let me know you've embraced the truth
I've been the cause of your abandoned youth

One day you'll wake up and hate what you see
Forever trapped in a cycle, no way to break free

One day you'll wake up and hate what you see
Forever trapped in a cycle, no way to rid yourself of me

God can't save you if you end up like me
One day you'll wake up and hate what you see
You'll be trapped in a cycle, no way to break free

I can't save you if you end up like me
A locked door; a broken key
One day you'll wake up and hate what you see
Forever trapped in a cycle, no way to rid yourself of me

Your bravery, your compassion -- how could I forget?
Meanwhile, I'm not conscious, my body's caving in
The problem all along is that I can't let go
You're the only good thing for me
I just had to let you know {X2]
