Dead Serious

You failed to fix me
Same as the last, you fell before the storm
Your words defeat me
Left in the past in stitches torn part
Move my heart
I should've known better

Time after time
Always day after day
Searching for something to feel differently
Look for a reason to not be afraid
Can't find the answers
No face and no name

I'm crawling forward alone
I'm falling backwards to no one

You failed to fix me
Same as the last, you fell before the storm
Your words defeat me
Left in the past in stitches torn part
Move my heart
I should've known better

It's too hard to swallow
I keep choking on a kiss
I thought it better to fall than resist
Scratching the surface of my own disease
Stripped of all substance
No space for the pain

I'm crawling forward alone
I'm falling backwards to no one

You failed to fix me
Same as the last, you fell before the storm
Your words defeat me
Left in the past in stitches torn part
Move my heart
I should've known better

Shattered to pieces
The ones that have mattered stay
The ones you take to your grave
I should've known better

Same as the last, you fell before the storm
It takes a minute to pray
Only a second to die
Life takes its toll
Find a reason to try
It takes a lifetime to reach out with all of your might
Rest both your eyes
Don't try to fight
My heart

You failed to fix me
Move my heart
Shattered to pieces
The ones that have mattered stay
The ones you take to your grave
I should've known better
