Sittin’ around, wanna figure it out
A way to justify my second chances
Mind wanders far but it keeps landing on you

Who’s left to blame this time
Was I a victim of my circumstances? No
I held the smoking gun but not the bullet that it threw

Painted a picture, while I was trying to find
Another piece of gold
I never figured out, that the villain was me
And now you’re leaving

I’m not giving up, I’m not giving in
Not letting the dark be the reason, I give myself for
The kind of person, that I have been
I can’t change for you, so I’ll change for me
I’ll be alone, for now, for then

Words fly like a burning knife into the
Person who’s my only anchor
It wasn’t too much weight but rather the
Rigidness of my stubborn mind and I
Can’t stop thinking about it
Regret flows in too late to prevent the
Things that I said, the things that I meant at the time
But not once I played the tape back

Painted a picture, of what I had in my mind
Another hand to hold
I didn’t like what I saw, who I turned out to be
So now I’ll leave it

I’m not giving up, I’m not giving in
Not letting the dark be the reason, I give myself for
The kind of person, that I have been
I can’t change for you, so I’ll change for me
I’ll be alone, for now, for then

Oh, I’m not giving up, I’m not giving in
Not letting the dark be the reason, I give myself for
The kind of person, that I have been
I can’t change for you, so I’ll change for me
I’ll be alone, for now, for then
For then
