lyrics

> V1
> Ain't no runnin from the choice you made,
> Way too late to exaggerate your rights,
> Done wrong so many ways so many times,
> How the fuck you still gone fight,
> Every night that you lie awake
> Thinking about what coulda been, should been, woulda been,
> Nobody listenin, quit bitchin, shoulda been practicing what your preachin,
> Heartbroken words floating on so many lies,
> Just skim across the surface till they grow and capsize,
> How can I, just close my eyes,
> I turned my back to the wind, With a solemn promise to myself,
> I'll never let you in
>
> Chorus
> How many times must I go through this
>
> New loves begin on the ruins you left behind
>
> Lying awake to the sounds of delusion
>
> Don't cry, stop trying to find, it's already left behind
>
> It's way too late for this to end right
>
> Already said and done
>
> My dreams no longer set aside
>
> V2
> Ain't no use in holding on,
> Everything that was there is gone,
> And now it's time you gotta be strong,
> I've played that backbone way too long,
> Remember when I held you up,
> Put you on a pedestal while you pushed me down,
> Do you remember now,
> Cause I remember how
> Everytime that I needed you the most you was runnin round,
> Lemme break it down,
> I never needed you I wanted you,
> but you presumed that everything you do is just acceptable,
> Now I had open arm that tried to wrap around your view,
> Stretched them so far that they bruised,
> But I would never rip them off for you
>
> Chorus
>
> V3
> Ain't no way that I'll take you back,
> Take your cocaine, Fuck your pack,
> I don't need the act, step back,
> Tryin to state facts, not start wars,
> Trying to move past, just move forward,
> I could never understand the traces,
> Wasted some years tryin to fake it, face it,
> I ain't even gonna try to brace it, I'll pace it,
> While I try to find my own oasis,
> Just take this as a means to an end,
> Whatever still lives in you, in me is surely dead,
> As usual I gotta be that one to hold my head above the water,
> No navigation mislead, I just move ahead,
> Teardrops and bloodstains can be washed away,
> But the scars gonna stick with me for the rest of my days,
> Out of the Haze I rise, my eyes are open wide,
> On that clear path in front of me as new love presides
>
> Chorus
>
> This is a battle I've already won
