"Here is every letter, every love note, every haunting memory

The ones you wasted with your hands wrapped around everything that breathes

Be a better man than the ones you hate

The ink that bled, the tears I wept, the makeup running down my face

I've had enough of your excuses, I've had enough of your complaints

Sometimes hopelessness can be a self-inflicted pain"

"You get stuck in your own head

Dead set on the worst situations"

I swear, I swear, I hate what I've become

Free will seems a fiction when you live without love

You always say “the grey will fade”

Teach me how to grow, teach me how to change

Fault line, I am not yours

My beautiful, I've committed an act of treason on myself

I asked for your advice but I never thought to use your help

I can't remember the last time that I smiled

An understatement I know, I know it's been a while

I used to tell myself that I'd get better with the weather but the seasons have all passed and I'm still standing in the rain

Still searching for a way to change the color of the sky; I walk under it quite often and it’s still a shade of grey

I'm over feeling like teeth laid on concrete; stomped into submission with gums that always bleed

I refuse to ever be held back

Because a mind that spits regression is a mind that doesn't think

Swing low, swing fast

I refuse to be held back

I swear, I swear, I hate what I've become

Free will seems a fiction when you live without love

You always say "the grey will fade"

Teach me how to grow, teach me how to change

Teach me how to grow
