lyrics

I'm sick of pretending that I'm okay, I never was
My mental state is decaying faster than the plans that we made
Give me a reason to try and survive
Cause nothing I do will ever suffice
Nothing I do will work

I'm a burning cigarette
Slowly disappearing every time you take a breath
We're a love that went wrong when everything was right
And I have to kill myself just to make you feel alive

I feel so dead inside
Like a winter rose who never met the sun
I've never been given the one thing I need to stay alive
Today I'm nothing, nothing at all
Your crooked picture that fell off the wall
I'm shattered in pieces that you cannot touch
Maybe it's true, that I am too much

This nightmare I live in is slowly consuming everything I know
You'll never understand what it's like to take the bloody path
The one that I'm on

I'm a burning cigarette
Slowly disappearing every time you take a breath
We're a love that went wrong when everything was right
And I had to kill myself just to make you feel alive

I feel so dead inside
Like a winter rose who never met the sun
I've never been given the one thing I need to stay alive
Today I'm nothing, nothing at all
Your crooked picture that fell off the wall
I'm shattered in pieces that you cannot touch
Maybe it's true, that I am too much
