Look within

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've been keeping score of every time you let me down Writing down the reasons in a notebook I don't show You push away the ones who stay when everyone else goes Then ask me why the room feels cold when you're alone You fill the space with people who just tell you what you want They don't care how far they drag you underneath the ground And when you sink, you wonder why you only frown I keep reaching out, but you refuse to turn around [Chorus] If you want to break this trend If you want the ache to end You can't just say the words and walk away If you want to learn from me Then you have to look and see The mirror doesn't lie about the things you won't say [Verse 2] I downplay the damage when I know I've done the same I speak of love but act like I don't know the name I'm tired of measuring my life against a bar That I keep moving every time I get too far My daily habits need a rewrite, line by line To change the pattern, I need to know what's mine Self-awareness isn't something that you say It's failing forward till you find a better way [Chorus] If you want to break this trend If you want the ache to end You can't just say the words and walk away If you want to learn from me Then you have to look and see The mirror doesn't lie about the things you won't say [Bridge] I wish we could level up together side by side But I can't carry both of us against the tide So this is where I let you go and stand alone I hope you find the strength to face what you've outgrown [Chorus] If you want to break this trend If you want the ache to end You can't just say the words and walk away If you want to learn from me Then you have to look and see The mirror doesn't lie about the things you won't say If you want the pain to end You have to look within
