Am I the cure or the cancer?
Is this what it takes to save face
To watch our world cave in and fail
There's only hurt in this place
My words wear the weight of betrayal

What more do you want from this life?
A high price to pay, for sacrifice
It's be happy, give in leave
Rip me to pieces
Or you'll see me tear at the seams

What if I can't face what I became when you left me?
To lay waste to everything?
Is this what it takes, to pretend I'm okay

Listen closely
This home we built
Holds a hole for the lonely

My harshest critic
A simple fix
A break in communication
An elixir for distance
It kept you at bay, it kept me contained
The same distance that pushed you away

I'll forgive myself but I will not forget
You'll forever be inside my head
I found myself in your absence
Though I'm better off in the end

Stop pretending
I'm ready to move on
Or ready for you to be gone
I know it makes me selfish and wrong
Maybe you're just better off
Pretending I'm ready to move on
Detachment's dead and gone
If it makes me selfish and wrong
I just can't do this anymore

I'll forgive myself but I will not forget
You'll forever be inside my head
I found myself in your absence
Though I'm better off in the end

What's left of us
The attachment is dead and gone
I just can't do this anymore

Am I the cure or the cancer?
The truth tears me apart
I was never enough
I came undone when you gave up
