lyrics

I hate to admit that I miss you
It turns out I can’t run away
I’ve run out of all of my patience
I can imagine all the things that you’d say right now

“Can’t you just make a decision?
You make things so much harder than they need to be
Stop being so overdramatic
Here, let me do it, it’s easy”

I don’t miss the constant belittling
Or feeling like a burden you bear
I just wish that I wasn’t sober
I just wish that I didn’t care

I thought that I wouldn’t care, oh what a sad little victim I make
You were the villain, and at the worst I made some mistakes

Will someone take care of that kid?

I’ve been waiting for something to happen
For someone to take me away
To take me to space, or to heaven
I probably don’t deserve to go, anyway

I don't know what makes me so special
Think I’ve a right to know what’s going on
But I’ve got a right to nothing
Just like everyone else it goes on and on and on

I thought that I wouldn’t care, oh what a sad little victim I make
You were the villain, sure I know that I made some mistakes
I thought that I wouldn’t be scared, oh what a sad little story I tell
I don’t even know what I’m saying, we both put each other through hell

Honestly, he’s making a mess

Turn thee unto me, and have mercy upon me
For I am desolate and afflicted
