[Verse 1: Invent]

No one knows what I've been feeling

It's like, I run from my past, I could never get right

When I'm happy, sad is one step closer

Will this last for, more than normal?

Yesterday I woke up thinking life was over

Overwhelming rush on things I'd never spoken

Words I should have told you, right in the moment

You take away the parts of me that build emotion

I'm always angry most times hide it better

Maybe I should let go, and I'll sleep a little

What this means to you, is not the same to me

I need this like the air we breathe, this topic it is sentimental

And everyday's a battle with myself I hate the sight of me

I'm ashamed to tell hate Is growing as I grow but silently

I'm full of insecurities and even though I try to be

Better than I was but there's not getting away that easy

Talking to myself again, it's bitter-sweet

Haven't seen the outside or made contact for over a week

It's getting worse and mentally exhausting eyes are feeling weak

Habits I'm not proud of but this drink it gives me some relief


[Chorus: Invent & Em]

You take and you take, for the sake of your own worth

Does our happiness mean nothing to you?

Does our happiness mean nothing to you?

Does our happiness mean nothing to you?

Does our happiness mean nothing to you?

Does our happiness mean nothing to you?

Does our happiness mean nothing to you?


[Verse 2: Invent]

Why do I call, then hang up the minute I hear your voice?

It gives comfort and makes me sad but not by choice

I saw a picture of you lately, you're aging well

My heart was aching like someone had torn it out

My problems are not yours and yours are far from mine

There's so much disconnect a stranger over time

What this does to us is numb so many sides

The older that we get, I feel it's out of line

What's been going on it's hard to understand it

I want to move on past it but It's harder I think

When you cannot forget what's happened

Tell me now! Are you just done with us completely?

I need to know, I want an answer, please

I'm wanting all the years back you took from us

Those tears weren't worth sadness

Love was wasted on you like the love you took

And buried was it something you had planned

To shatter both our worlds so sudden

I could never let go of this

And now we're grown you missed out on our life, how could you!?

I'll never be alright 'cause I'm so scared to lose you

When we needed the most, how come you never came?

I always ended up alone, so young and lost you left me ruined


[Chorus: Invent & Em]

You take and you take for the sake of your own worth

Does our happiness mean nothing to you?

Does our happiness mean nothing to you?

Does our happiness mean nothing to you?

Does our happiness mean nothing to you?

Does our happiness mean nothing to you?

Does our happiness mean nothing to you?
