Tell me what to say

And lead me through the shadows

Show me the escape

Where you go I will follow

I left behind all that I used to be

So that you could stay with me

And you've become everything that I need

For my sanity

How can something so enticing

Have such awful side effects

All the itching and the scratching

From withdrawal keeps me out of check

I am fixated on all of the things we were together

But those are fragments that are better off

Lost forever

I'm falling apart piece by piece

To shards of what you have made me

But I've risen above all I've become

Turned from the pain, I was trained to love

I left behind all that I used to be

But this time, I did it for me

And you were everything I needed

To set me free

If I cut the strings that held me hostage

Would I fall and shatter?

If that's what it takes to breathe again, then

Would it even matter?

How can something so enticing

Have such awful side effects

All the itching and the scratching

From withdrawal keeps me out of check

I am fixated on all of the things we were together

But those are fragments that are better off lost

And just how can something so enticing

Have such awful side effects

All the itching and the scratching

From withdrawal keeps me out of check

I am fixated on all of the things we were together

But those are fragments that are better off

Lost forever
