Breaking Familiar Patterns
Lyrics
I’ve been trying not to say, what’s been plaguing my mind
I've been attempting to withhold expressing what's been bothering me mentally
Cos it’s taking it’s toll and it’s wasting my
Because it's causing exhaustion and wasting my
Time moves faster for you, than it’s moving for me
Time seems to pass more quickly for you than it does for me
I don’t want to get up, but I’m too tired to sleep
I don't want to get out of bed, but I'm too fatigued to sleep
I’m laying awake, and you’re snoring too loud
I'm lying awake, and your snoring is too loud
I know that I’m pissed but I don’t know what about
I acknowledge that I'm upset, but I'm uncertain about the cause
I’m opening up, to the people I trust
I'm opening up to the people I trust
Because you said it would help, but I don’t think it’s worth the fuss
Despite your advice that it would help, I doubt it's worthwhile
And I’ve been trying to change
I've been making an effort to alter
The patterns that I keep
The recurring behaviors I exhibit
I know it’s such a strain
I understand it's challenging
To hear that every week
To hear the same thing every week
I know it hurts you when
I'm aware it pains you when
I say it’s not that deep
I claim it's not profound
Just get some rest my friend
Just get some rest, my friend
Let’s just go back
Let's return to a previous state
I’ll wait, wait by the door, as you’re biting your tongue
I'll wait by the door as you restrain yourself
It should be easier said, but it’s easier done
It's theoretically easier to say than to do
I’m checking my hand, I should probably fold
I'm evaluating my options, and I should probably give up
As you’re looking straight down, text messaging
While you're looking down, engrossed in texting
Old flames that you still maintain, I should remain calm
Managing emotions as you maintain connections with past lovers, I should remain composed
Watching my old scars fade away
Observing my old wounds fading away
Safe near the people I trust, who said they would help
Feeling secure near those I trust, who promised assistance
And they’re probably right, but I don’t wanna make a fuss
They are likely correct, but I don't want to create a disturbance
And I’ve been trying to change
I've been making an effort to alter
The patterns that I keep
The recurring behaviors I exhibit
I know it’s such a strain
I understand it's challenging
To hear that every week
To hear the same thing every week
I know it hurts you when
I'm aware it pains you when
I say it’s not that deep
I claim it's not profound
Just get some rest my friend
Just get some rest, my friend
Let’s just go back to sleep
Let's return to a state of sleep
And I’ve been trying to change
I've been making an effort to alter
The patterns that I keep
The recurring behaviors I exhibit
