Lyrics

Face down, once again on the floor

It's not enough to have faith anymore

Conveying a sense that having faith is no longer sufficient or fulfilling.

Just disagree with me I will keep patiently

Openness to disagreement, with a willingness to endure patiently.

Lately you're doing your best to forget me

Noticing a recent effort to be forgotten or neglected by someone.

Well it hurts, then it changes for the worst (for the worst)

Stop breaking my bones

Request to stop causing emotional or physical harm.

I'm so sick so sick and tired of walking through the fire

I let you in when you're not even my friend

Allowing someone into one's life despite not being a true friend.

I let you in when you're not even mine

Cuz all my efforts were mistakes bringing out the worst in me

I can't live up to your name

Take my will to live away (I'm so sick of it)

Stop chasing his ghost (but I keep giving in)

I will break before I bend.
