guest vocals by Brian Magee (Thoughts In Reverse)

lyrics

Today I realized
I could not remember
What it was I ever saw in you
All I know is you were not the same
So which part's the real you?
Which part's the one that changed?

I'd be lying if I told you that I
Didn't know what it's like to feel torn
To be lost in a tunnel
While the walls were caving in
and I'll admit I lost myself
and never made the effort
For the longest time
to find my way outside
but now I've changed
and what I thought was you
The voice in my head
The light at the end
I know now what it is
It's not you and it never really was
How could it be when you've been down here with me
Dragging me down for all these years?

You tied your rope around my neck
and pulled it tighter just to get ahead
So hold on to the past
I'm moving forward

Consider growing up before moving on
It will make this easier on the both of us

I found my own way out
and I'm not going to wait around
Because I know you'd do the same
Because you never really cared
I'm taking my life back
and I'm closing the door behind me
You said you'd dig me up
but instead you ruined everything

So what do we have left now?
What could I possibly say?
I used to dream I'd hear these words
Screamed back at me
I used to stand for change, but here I am
Screaming these words out over empty space
That no one wants to hear
but if you're listening please understand
This is not my life
I am not who I wanted to be
I refuse to walk in your footsteps
but how could I just walk away?
What difference would it make?
