Lyrics

How is it a lie
When you say you're the only one who tried
Who gave it your all
Who suffered the most, then without cause cut me off

Cut me out like I never was
The one who fell, head of heals, we were so in love.
I also let you in
So you could feel what lies beneath my skin
Exposed bones and tissue
After all, I'm the only one with unresolved issues.

Sure you accepted your part
In the role you played that broke my heart
But never were you the reason we grew apart
You found a sense of worth that I never gave
Surrounded by many others that made you feel "emotionally safe"

Confiding in them your darkest moments
As you were protecting me like I was too delicate or capable of helping you control it
Like when I use to just hold you while you exhaled
Feeling the stress vanish as the weight of it all began to melt

Now, we're two victims placing blame
Pointing fingers, not realizing we're both losing points in this game.
If its all the same
I'd rather we remain silent than pretend we're okay.

I resent how you're repulsed by my presence
Like I'm a monster hiding in the closet, under the bed, or
lurking in the darkest corner of the basement.

Let's face it
embrace it
We can't fake this
Just forget my existence
be sure to make this endeavor persistent.
Do you consider our child a predicament?
Or something you can guarantee my commitment?

You speak of control and how I respond
to "my perception" of what I believe as your attempt at deception.
How can I control what was never mine
Like you gifted your heart to be with ribbon and twine
Then take it all back as our love unwinds

How can you be so cruel
Who is to blame when all I blame is you
and all you blame is me
The blame belongs with we
