lyrics

If I had the chance to go back there
I guess I’d bear seeing you again
And I never thought I’d escape this mess
The chaos still exists in my head

And I can’t stop thinking of that part of me
I have bad dreams every now and then
And even though I can’t make you promises,
I’d much rather have you misled

Oh how can you stand to be like this?
You’re playing me just like a fool
The truth was that I was no stranger
To the warning signs I thought I knew

But somehow I just wasn’t brave enough
To face everything that I know
And if I knew how much I’d hurt from this
I would have left ten years ago

Maybe there’ll be some coincidence
And I’ll have some words once we’ve aged
Because so many times I’ve confronted you
While my mind was a lyric-less page…
