lyrics
It's so easy to forget the things we've said and done,
yet the actions of others we seem to hold to so strong.
Is there really this much pain involved in love,
or do we mourn too long and not forgive enough?
It's so easy to give in and give up
but letting go of pain easier said than done.
It's so easy to give in and give up
but letting go of this, easier said than done
Why can't I seem to keep my thoughts in the present
instead of overanalying every minute once it passes?
History is always written by the victor,
but the simple fact that I lost this time doesn't mean I didn't live it.
Isn't it funny in the saddest sort of way,
things we once did with pride begin to weigh us down with shame
And we bury ourselves with our mistakes
always forgetting that more are on the way.
I'm slipping over the edge
nowhere to hide but my head
these walls are littered and riddled with things that I left unsaid.
I'm so ready to be someone much better than me
So ready to be yours
The tension is building, how much more can I take?
A new challenge and change every day that I wake
They say to learn from the past, they say that this too shall pass
But they never warned me how long memories last
I can't stop, I can't stop trying
I can't stop, I can't stop fucking trying
To reach my, to reach my goals and find
a way to, a way to leave my past behind
All I've wanted was to leave my past behind
Leave this all behind me
I'm slipping over the edge
nowhere to hide but my head
these walls are littered and riddled with things that I left unsaid.
I'm so ready to be someone much better than me
So ready to be yours
(Do you deserve what you've been given, do you deserve?)
I can't explain this in a way that will get through to you
so read between the lines and you'll find proof
That every straw that doesn't break my back,
only makes me stronger
Now it's time to grin and bear it.
Take the hurt you feel, learn your lesson, then forget it.
I'm letting go.
