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

I'd 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

Listen closely
This home we built
Holds a hole for the lonely
My harshest critic, a simple fix
An elixir for distance

It kept you at bay
It kept me contained
The same distance that pushed you away
That pushed you away

I'd 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
Detachment's dead and gone
If that makes me selfish and wrong -
I just can't do this anymore
I'd 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
