Tell me what to say
And lead me through the shadows
Show me the escape
Where you go I will follow
I left behind all that I used to be
So that you could stay with me
And you've become everything that I need
For my sanity

How can something so enticing
Have such awful side effects
All the itching and the scratching
From withdrawal keeps me out of check

I am fixated on all of the things we were together
But those are fragments that are better off
Lost forever

I'm falling apart piece by piece
To shards of what you have made me
But I've risen above all I've become
Turned from the pain, I was trained to love
I left behind all that I used to be
But this time, I did it for me
And you were everything I needed
To set me free
If I cut the strings that held me hostage
Would I fall and shatter?
If that's what it takes to breathe again, then
Would it even matter?

How can something so enticing
Have such awful side effects
All the itching and the scratching
From withdrawal keeps me out of check

I am fixated on all of the things we were together
But those are fragments that are better off lost

And just how can something so enticing
Have such awful side effects
All the itching and the scratching
From withdrawal keeps me out of check

I am fixated on all of the things we were together
But those are fragments that are better off
Lost forever
