To Kill This
Breaking the Cycle: Discovering Self-Redemption Through Love
Lyrics
With a lack of self esteem I walked into my teens
Struggling with low self-esteem, I entered adolescence.
And six years later I'm still frustrated
After six years, I am still feeling frustrated.
I'm still not who I want to be
I have not become the person I aspire to be.
And now it all comes down to, am I treating you right?
The crucial question is whether I am treating you well.
If I could just be all that I can be for her
If I could fully be for her, I would achieve the ideal version of myself.
That's when I'd be the man I long to be
Being the man I desire to be hinges on being there for her.
I hate this cycle it's a never-ending story of infinite last chances
Expressing frustration with a recurring pattern of endless opportunities that may be slipping away.
I keep telling myself "just grow up"
Self-admonishment to mature and face responsibilities.
But it's so easy to say and so much harder to do
Maturing is easier said than done.
I hear it each and every day
Hearing the advice to grow up consistently.
It's the only thing left to do
Feeling compelled to take action as the only option remaining.
It's time to kill this
Declaring the need to end this cycle of frustration.
There's no two ways about it
Emphasizing the certainty of the decision to end this situation.
Ends today right here right now
Today marks the conclusion of this cycle.
It's time I learn that it's not a matter of saying the right words or singing the right songs
Recognizing that actions speak louder than words or songs in relationships.
It's so old but it's not easy to say good-bye to all of this heartache
Acknowledging the difficulty of saying goodbye to lingering emotional pain.
To just say no
Resolving to say no to destructive patterns.
To run away
Choosing to escape from the current situation.
Endure pain and suffocate every desire that hurts you
Committing to endure and suppress desires that cause harm.
My words and actions don't align
Admitting a misalignment between words and actions.
My heart is the victim of my mind
My heart suffers due to the conflicts within my mind.
