| It’s like watching a rose just wither away
|
| When beauty crumbles and decays
|
| It’s like having a voice, with no chance to speak
|
| It’s something that you hold, and hold to keep
|
| Fall to my knees, god, I beg you please
|
| Show me just a little mercy
|
| Help me, help me; |
| I’m doing all I can
|
| Pretend I’m unaffected, but their pain became my burden
|
| Swear this isn’t what I wanted
|
| God, this house is haunted
|
| The way that this could be, if things would remedy
|
| And after all of this we’ve been through
|
| I wish that we could switch shoes
|
| This life ain’t fair for us all
|
| My ears resound with the sound of broken dreams
|
| I had where you would breathe exist eternally
|
| Tell them to leave, you’re coming home with me
|
| Remove that damn IV
|
| I wish my words could cure illness
|
| It’s like running a race with no legs or
|
| Swimming a lap with no arms
|
| The door may have slammed in my face but
|
| The windows will heal my scars
|
| Swear this isn’t what I wanted
|
| God, this house is haunted
|
| The way that this could be if things would remedy
|
| And after all of this we’ve been through
|
| I wish that we could switch shoes
|
| This life ain’t fair for us all
|
| My walls are built and on display
|
| I drown in guilt due to dismay
|
| Maybe someday I can see how this has shaped me
|
| Bite my tongue, with swelling lungs
|
| I gasp for air and let this go
|
| Swear this isn’t what I wanted
|
| God, this house is haunted
|
| The way that this could be if things would remedy
|
| And after all this shit we’ve been through
|
| I wish that we could switch shoes
|
| Well, this life ain’t fair for us all |
