said you wouldn't leave

Lyrics
How am I supposed to live when everybody leaves?

Then left so easily

It hurts so much

That they could leave

Meant everything to me
Stating the significance of the departed individuals.
Forgot that I should never trust
Reflecting on the betrayal of misplaced trust.
I was so naive
Admitting to being too trusting and inexperienced.
Call me a mistake
Accepting being labeled as a mistake.
You know how I break
Acknowledging vulnerability and susceptibility to emotional pain.
Walking on their graves

Crying out their names

Much more than I can take

There's no escape

No words compare to pain

My fault for falling into you
Accepting responsibility for falling in love.
Leave me black and blue

At night
Setting the scene of nighttime contemplation.
When I close my eyes

I try
Expressing the struggle to deceive oneself for comfort.
To tell myself a lie
Acknowledging the attempt to believe things will be okay.
Say it's gonna be alright
Seeking reassurance and comfort through self-deception.
And I'll dream of you tonight

You know how I break

Nothing ever lasts

The end is written on the wall

Something 'bout my love that no one seems to want
Noting a lack of desire for the singer's love.
Gave into every lie
Acknowledging succumbing to falsehoods from the start.
It was tainted from the start

You're running through my veins

Like a noose around my heart

Heart

I am never what you want
