Let me just build my new life up
Heavy and cold
Puzzle pieces ripped apart
Forced into a new mold
Reaching unattainably to your system of gravity
Sew your mask into my face and make it look like you still loved me too
Day by each painful day my skin bleeds
Memories of identities pure and unfiltered
Can't have that
anymore
Can't have that anymore
Step by step, conform, reform
A home isn't a home anymore
Building up a new life in your image
Ignore the image of mine falling down
If I rewrite who I was
to give a hint of you a hint of a chance to live just that much longer,
Would you try to look my way
and say you're sorry?
Would you go with me back in the past and sit right down and make it last like
these ten years never happened the way they did at all
I'm alone like you left me like I left you but I didn't mean it and you meant it and I'm not moving at
all
I live only in your periphery so what else is there to do except pretend to be you when you're not
here
I'll just look in the mirror when I miss the thought of living
Get a glimpse of your
visage
In a puddle on the street
Let me talk to it a while
Old friend how long it's been,
well
I've been in denial you're not real
If you were you wouldn't be listening
Building up your life right out of the wreckage of mine
I don't care I'll sacrifice it all for the chance
you'll get a better one
I'll see you in the future and I'll be there to prove I could be a little more than
you thought of me, finally a little bit worthy of a little bit of you
And when nothing has changed I'll
wonder why I siphoned away all I was just to make part of you proud of a part of me
At the cost of almost
everything of me you get almost everything for you
I hope I was worth the stepping stone you mistook my
love for
