... I hope that I can seem flawless to you
And always take away the pain that you'll go through
My impression is not always what it seems
You're more of a reflection of what I used to be
...So why do I feel hollow when I look at your photograph?
You take down my fortress and kill me with a smile
Please hold that thought a while
And I'll try to put you on this path
I hope you find the road I couldn't seeYou won't be by yourself
I'll live for your problems and think of you when I'm gone
Don't worry now it won't be longOnce I was you I thought the world was safe
A new perspective; everybody is insane
Protecting you is a paranoid excuse
I know that you'll do better than I could ever do... And thoughts of self-destruction
Are now all buried in the past
You take down my barricade and melt away my heart
If loving hurts so much I want this pain to always last
I hope you pass the test that I have failedYou won't be by yourself
I'll live for your problems and think of you when I'm gone
Don't worry now it won't be longI apologize to you for the words not spoken yet
Don't want you to look back and live in regret
Some day you'll ask me why I was away...
