You may own me but you can't control me
and I can't keep dying out under you
all this time, trying to hide but I just can't run any more
I've craved you once a thousand times you've caught me in my darkest lies can we go back to before?
I've seen you in my worst nightmares I've reached for love that isn't there it's just dark and cold
show me your true self and expose the emptiness
You're just a mess who's fallen from grace and bliss
I'll fight this on my own there's no one I can trust here
I'll be safe inside myself with the darkness that I fear (feel)
I'll save you in your deep despair if you can save me too
all alone I've been so long and I can't keep dying out under you
You have to face this is all in vain and now there's nothing left to show
And I'm the shadow of the prey you stalked once so long ago
I've blamed myself a thousand times but it's all you, they're not my crimes and it's not something you can ignore
You're a mess? I couldn't fucking care! I've reached for love but it's not there Oh, I've been here before
show me your true self and expose the emptiness
You're just a mess who's fallen from grace and bliss
I'll fight this on my own cos' there's no one I can trust here
I'll be safe inside myself with the darkness that I fear
I'll save you in your deep despair if you can save me too
all alone I've been so long and I can't keep dying out
And I'll fight this on my own cos' there's no one I can trust here
I'll be safe inside myself with the darkness that I fear (feel)
I'll save you in your deep despair if you can save me too
so suppressed I've been so long and I can't keep dying out under you!
