[Intro]

I feel like it fell into pieces without any reason

I think the summer that we moved in was my favorite season

(What came first, music or the misery?)

[Chorus]

I feel like it's wrong, like I don't pray for this

Cemented in my ways and there's no changing it

I might change my life, no I won't wait for it

If you could change your life, what would you stake for it?

I dropped the book and I lost the page

Embarked on my journey, carried the weight

I think it's time I'm let in, they tell me, "Wait at the gate"

I can't watch all the paint while still expecting change

Alone again in a new context

You could try and break me, but I won't ever bend

I try to break the cycle, but it won't ever end

Deny myself a feeling when I can't ascend (Can't ascend)

And I swear you're my everything

But it's also why I gotta go

And I swear you're my everything

Yeah, you took my heart, but can you free my soul?

(So what did he do that ruined this?)

[Verse]

I just hate the fact I cannot come home

Made the choice and now I walk down the road

Can't be the man I thought I was when we first met

This is another quiet night all alone

My self-respect was severed down to the bone

Felt undeserving of the things that I own

Work every day to show myself that I've grown

Tell me, God, how do I hide what I've shown

[Bridge]

I know they try and break us, try and separate us

I wake up and watch the trees change, God ain't ever betrayed us

(What came first, music or the misery?)

[Chorus]

I feel like it's wrong, like I don't pray for this

Cemented in my ways and there's no changing it

I might change my life, no I won't wait for it

If you could change your life, what would you stake for it?

I dropped the book and I lost the page

Embarked on my journey, carried the weight

I think it's time I'm let in, they tell me, "Wait at the gate"

I can't watch all the paint while still expecting change

Alone again in a new context

You could try and break me, but I won't ever bend

I try to break the cycle, but it won't ever end

Deny myself a feeling when I can't ascend (Can't ascend)

And I swear you're my everything

But it's also why I gotta go

And I swear you're my everything

Yeah, you took my heart, but can you free my soul?
