[Verse 1]

Guilt

Troubled memories

I built

Myself the power to destroy me

Nightly

I tried to amend

For the sake of my friends

Lest I fall again

But

[Pre-Chorus]

I hadn't realized

I'd already won the fight

I had already seen the light

And despite it all, you convinced me I was alright

[Chorus]

You helped me escape this nightmare

You were there

To prove to me I could believe that what's done is done

And I could dare

To set free

That part of me

That knew I was over going nowhere; the time has come

For me to see

The past is behind me

And I no longer need reminding

[Verse 2]

I tried

To never let myself forget

I cried

To make sure I would never let

This

Take over once more

It's what all of this was for

But it tore

At me

[Pre-Chorus]

I hadn't realized

I'd already won the fight

I had already seen the light

And despite it all, I could fly

[Chorus]

You helped me escape this nightmare

You were there

To prove to me I could believe that what's done is done

And I could dare

To set free

That part of me

That knew I was over going nowhere; the time has come

For me to see

The past is behind me

And I no longer need reminding

[Bridge]

This blackened fragment of my past

It lasted

The darkened pieces of my dreams

Escaped me

But you were there just like you always were

Every moment, every second, every turn

[Chorus]

You helped me escape this nightmare

You were there

To prove to me I could believe that what's done is done

And I could dare

To break free

That part of me

That knew I was done trying to outrun, what came undone

What followed me

The past is behind me

I no longer need–

[Chorus]

You helped me escape this nightmare

You were there

To prove to me I could believe that what's done is done

And I could dare

To set free

That part of me

That knew I was over going nowhere; the time has come

For me to see

The past is behind me

And I no longer need reminding
