[Verse 1]

Open your eyes, you've been left

Open your heart, 'cause you know best

Pull close the ones that leave you alone

Welcome home

Write down those words you wanted to hear

Compliments, hit or miss

As long as they're comin' clear

I spent my days contemplating to kill or buy you a ring

Ain't love a funny thing?

[Pre-Chorus]

I knew there was something wrong

I was just to scared to say it

I knew one day you'd finally see

The monster was me

[Chorus]

'Cause I was so busy saying that I was better

You were falling apart

And I was barely together

Bringing up your past, did you feel ashamed?

When I was doing the same things

My whole life you said I wouldn't forget it

God damn, right you know I still don't regret it

Bringing up your past, did you feel ashamed?

When I was doing the same things

[Verse 2]

You spend your nights telling lies to anyone who believes

You spend your days writing plays for your drama kings

Pull them closer so they all feel sorry for you, poor you

Are you sick of all the things they thought you should be?

What you want, what you hope, what you think you will need

That's what I give, that's what I got, that's what I kept for me

Ain't hurt a funny thing?

[Pre-Chorus]

I knew there was something wrong

I was just to scared to say it

I knew one day you would finally see

The monster was me

[Chorus]

'Cause I was so busy saying that I was better

You were falling apart

And I was barely together

Bringing up your past, did you feel ashamed?

When I was doing the same things

My whole life you said I wouldn't forget it

God damn, right you know I still don't regret it

Bringing up your past, did you feel ashamed?

When I was doing the same things

[Bridge]

It's so hard to be right when everything you do is wrong

Singing out it's getting harder to breathe

Starting over when you thought

That you were done, I'm done

Selling out, saving face, you know it all feels the same

When there's no one left, it's just you to blame

Give me sight, piece of mind, a glimmer of truth

Or shut it down with just a moment left of you

[Chorus]

'Cause I was so busy saying that I was better

You were falling apart

And I was barely together

Bringing up your past, did you feel ashamed?

When I was doing the same things

My whole life you said I wouldn't forget it

God damn, right you know I still don't regret it

Bringing up your past, did you feel ashamed?

When I was doing the same things

(It's so hard to be right when everything you do is wrong)

(When I was doing the same things)

(Selling out, saving face, you know it all feels the same)

(When I was doing the same things)

My whole life you said I wouldn't forget it

God damn, right you know I still don't regret it

Bringing up your past, did you feel ashamed?

When I was doing the same things
