In The Dark
Same old stories once again
You’re trying to pretend that everything is alright
The fact is nothing is okay
But that’s something I can’t say
I just have to say “I’m fine”
Truth be told, the words you’ve said
Are always stuck inside my head
But that’s just something you don’t understand
I fear your voice as it tells me
“We both know you’ll never leave”
And I can’t fight back, or you’ll hurt me again
Well I’m sorry if I’m not what you wanted,
But I still exist
Sometimes, I just wish I didn’t love you
Because that would make it easier to leave
I waste so much time just thinking of you
The stress makes it hard for me to breathe
I know you’re never going to change
You haven’t so far
I know you think that it’s okay
To tear me apart
I know if I don’t leave, I will be left with a broken heart
Because it is me who is and will always be
In The Dark
