[Verse 1]
Wide awake in clothes I haven't changed
For days and days as the sun creeps through the window on my face
Just let it go
You say I'm like a ghost
My skin is white as paper as I haunt the halls of my home, oh

[Chorus]
I scream like it would stop the ache
Your colors start to show (Show)
I know what I have to do, but it kills me

[Verse 2]
Rewriting all the songs
I'd change your name, but I know you'll still take everything to heart
Just let it go
I wonder if we'll die with hope
Or if we'll be counting the sins we carry deeply as we go

[Bridge]
I just wanted you to have a better life (I just wanted you to have a better life)
Not always shying away from your thoughts on the inside
I, I could set you free
I put you on a shelf knowing that I'd be
Too far to reach you from down in Hell
The sun slumps back as I burn your dreams
To the best of my ability, so just let me leave
[Chorus]
I scream like it would stop the ache
Your colors start to show (Show)
I know what I have to do, but it kills me
Sleep; if anything, I'll dream
It's only then I'll have you
I know what I have to do, but it kills me
