Lyrics
The battle's over, the war is lost
The conflict has ended, the battle has been lost.
Looked over my shoulder, but never forgot
Reflecting on the past but not forgetting.
The times we hide
Instances when we conceal things.
Lessons that we all find
Insights or teachings that are universal.
I'm not blind
Not oblivious or unaware.
I try to conform, and ignore the pain
Attempting to comply and disregard the suffering.
But I have to feel it just to remain the same
Feeling the pain is essential to remain unchanged.
As much as I try to fit into your mold
Struggling to fit someone else's expectations.
I'm livin' a lie and it's getting old
Lying to oneself and feeling weary of it.
I like to live in the pain
Choosing to dwell in anguish.
That's where I will remain
Deciding to stay in that painful state.
Thoughts of you will not change
Memories of a person remain unchanged.
I'm sorry, take me I'm broken
Expressing a readiness to be accepted despite being damaged.
I like to live in the pain
Preferring to reside in emotional suffering.
That's where I will remain
Choosing to persist in that state of pain.
Thoughts of you will not change
Emotions tied to a person remain constant.
I'm sorry, take me I'm broken
Requesting acceptance despite being broken.
You twist my words so they work in your way
Manipulating words to suit someone else's agenda.
Changing the story just a little bit
Altering the narrative slightly.
Talking about me but never to me
Talking about someone but not directly communicating with them.
That's why I hate the world and I isolate
Feeling disdain for the world and opting for isolation.
I like to live in the pain
Choosing to endure pain as a preferred state.
That's where I will remain
Determined to persist in that state of pain.
Thoughts of you will not change
Feelings about a person remain unaltered.
I'm sorry, take me I'm broken
Expressing a plea for acceptance despite being damaged.
I like to live in the pain
Preferring to reside in emotional suffering.
That's where I will remain
Choosing to persist in that state of pain.
Thoughts of you will not change
Emotions tied to a person remain constant.
I'm sorry, take me I'm broken
Requesting acceptance despite being broken.
