Part Two

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
