[al:]
[00:07.77] There is nothing here for me,
[00:09.71] But I'm here for you,
[00:10.86] So I will never leave.
[00:12.45] And I'm starting to believe,
[00:13.74] Every time you said you loved me,
[00:15.83] You were just talking in your sleep.
[00:18.67] And I said I would die for you
[00:20.56] But that was before I knew
[00:22.15] That it's all you wanted me to do
[00:23.99] And time and time again,
[00:25.49] I can tell you I hate you,
[00:27.28] But that won't ever make it true
[00:29.76] Cause even during the good times
[00:31.30] When you kissed me,
[00:32.25] I didn't want to open my eyes,
[00:34.29] Because I didn't want to realize
[00:36.18] How hollow our love was,
[00:37.72] But now that it's over,
[00:39.22] I'm still here, and all I want to know was love.
[00:43.15] And I only talk about you in the past tense,
[00:46.24] Because through all of this mess,
[00:48.04] It's the only thing that makes sense.
[00:50.47] And all I do these days is want
[00:52.54] But I've settled for wishful thinking
[00:54.98] And neglecting, and justifying my emptiness,
[00:58.16] Because it's easier to see what you have
[01:00.50] When you can see what your neighbor lacks,
[01:02.79] I would give an arm and a leg
[01:04.68] Just to have my arm and leg back
[01:07.07] And I worked so hard to help you find truth,
[01:09.96] Just to slowly learn that your silence says
[01:12.55] Just as much about your character
[01:14.64] As your words do.
[01:23.61] We gave our love away.
[01:26.45] I always thought that I would be okay.
[01:33.46] I never thought I would be okay.
[01:54.81] Through this silent note, what constitutes the truth.
[02:00.09] Cause I can tell myself
[02:02.34] Time and time again,
[02:03.98] That I'm not making sense of this
[02:13.15] And that cross around your neck
[02:15.23] Was more hollow than your head
[02:18.01] But I still just wanted to follow you to bed.
[02:27.77] I never listened to my own voice,
[02:30.35] Maybe some of us embrace death,
[02:32.94] But some of us don't have a choice
[02:35.58] And maybe I'm both because I didn't choose this
[02:38.82] But that doesn't mean I'm gonna change
[02:42.26] Because I never do, and you never did
[02:45.94] And it scared me away
[02:50.32] And that's why she still cuts your skin for you,
[02:53.85] And that's why that she's still in you, and her name is Acceptance.
[02:59.92] And she used to kill me, and now she is killing you.
[03:06.59] And through all this stress and carried out disastrous distress
[03:12.06] I've learned that I really don't like you,
[03:15.20] But I forgive you,
[03:17.04] Because I love you.
[03:19.24] I love you.
