My Old Ways
Breaking Free: Battling Betrayal and Redemption in 'My Old Ways'
Lyrics
I'm breaking down
I am experiencing a breakdown.
I need some help (yeah)
I require assistance or support.
Standing here alone
I am standing alone.
Fractured heart in my hands
I hold a broken heart in my hands.
I'm done with trust
I am no longer willing to trust.
I'm done with love
I am no longer willing to love.
I need to take some time
I need to take time to regain control of my mind.
to get control of my mind
Expressing the need for mental control.
The more I care
The more I care, the more I distance myself.
The more I push away
Feeling inadequate, doubting my worth for you to stay.
Can't help but think
Contemplating the idea that I might not be enough.
I'm not enough for you to stay
Fear of betrayal is causing mental distress.
Fear of betrayal
Seeing betrayal as a driving force of insanity.
Is driving me insane
Considering betrayal as a consequence of past behaviors.
It's just a side effect
Attributing insanity to the side effect of being stuck in old patterns.
Of being stuck in my old ways
Reflecting on past memories.
Reminisce on the memories
Accepting and dealing with a personal affliction.
Coming to terms with my disease
Delving deeper into self-awareness.
Diving down, deeper and deeper
Acknowledging clearer communication in life.
Messages getting clearer and clearer
Admitting to playing the victim in the past.
Played the victim all my life
Neglecting to rectify past wrongs.
Never tried to make things right
Realizing the deviation from the intended path.
Not how it's supposed to be
Being oblivious to personal faults.
Blind to the things that were wrong with me
Recognizing the impact of caring on emotional distance.
The more I care
Experiencing doubt about being enough for someone.
The more I push away
Feeling a sense of betrayal causing mental turmoil.
Can't help but think
Linking insanity to the consequence of old habits.
I'm not enough for you to stay
Originally, someone was a source of salvation, now turned into a source of downfall.
Fear of betrayal
Expressing the burden of emotional pain.
Is driving me insane
Comparing the suffering to a crown of thorns.
It's just a side effect
Feeling set up for emotional crucifixion.
Of being stuck in my old ways
Pondering the concept of home and belonging.
You were my salvation
Reiterating the pattern of distancing when caring.
Now you're my demise
Doubting one's worthiness to retain someone's presence.
I wear this pain like a crown of thorns
Experiencing the mental toll of betrayal.
Set me up to crucify
Linking insanity to the side effect of being stuck in old ways.
Where can I call home?
Expressing a plea for understanding and belonging.
The more I care
Reiterating the pattern of distancing when caring.
The more I push away
Feeling inadequate, doubting my worth for you to stay.
Can't help but think
Fear of betrayal causing mental distress.
I'm not enough for you to stay
Seeing betrayal as a driving force of insanity.
Fear of betrayal
Considering betrayal as a consequence of past behaviors.
Is driving me insane
Attributing insanity to the side effect of being stuck in old patterns.
It's just a side effect
Reflecting on past memories.
Of being stuck in my old ways
Accepting and dealing with a personal affliction.
