I hope that I can seem flawless to you And always take away the pain that you'll go through My impression is not always what it seems You're more of a reflection of what I used to be So why do I feel hollow when I look at your photograph? You take down my fortress and kill me with a smile Please hold that thought a while And I'll try to put you on this path I hope you find the road I couldn't see
You won't be by yourself I'll live for your problems and think of you when I'm gone Don't worry now it won't be long
Once I was you I thought the world was safe A new perspective; everybody is insane Protecting you is a paranoid excuse I know that you'll do better than I could ever do
... And thoughts of self-destruction Are now all buried in the past You take down my barricade and melt away my heart If loving hurts so much I want this pain to always last I hope you pass the test that I have failed
You won't be by yourself I'll live for your problems and think of you when I'm gone Don't worry now it won't be long
I apologize to you for the words not spoken yet Don't want you to look back and live in regret Some day you'll ask me why I was away...
