Closer

I'm through dealing with the likes of you
You tried to stab me in my back now I'ma stab yours too
Call me a friend while you lie through your teeth
And see every last one of them smashed on the street
Keep my friends - close to me
Keep my enemies - I keep my enemies closer
I caught you scheming while my back was turned so fuck you
And there will never be a day when I can trust you
I've got eyes in the back of my head
And I'm counting down the days until I see you fucking dead
Keep my friends - close to me
Keep my enemies - I keep my enemies closer
Once friends, turned enemies
Now my hate is all that's left of me

Tried to Change

Hate and shame consume my mind again
I tried to change, but I'll always be this way
They never stop, the memories
The pain I've caused will always haunt me
But I'm done begging for sympathy
I don't need any more of your empathy
I just hope one day you find your peace
While I'm praying that I never wake up when I go to sleep
I tried to change myself
For the sake of everyone else
I'm gonna burn in hell
For the things that I've done
To you, never told the truth
And I look back to the days of my youth
I never thought I would grow up to be my own worst enemy
And I still think about the words that you said to me:
"I can't believe you chose me"
"I can't believe I'm the one that you love"
I can't believe that I threw you away
And I'll pack up my regrets and I'll take them to the grave
I tried to change myself
For the sake of everyone else
I don't need your fucking help
I'll burn in hell
You will see the death of me
I'm on my way to my peace

All You Gave Me
02:59

Here I sit with my head held in the palms of my hands
Trying to get through to you, but you will never understand
Firm grip, clenching my teeth
For all the dead dreams that just weren't meant to be
Why do I fight for love that I will never receive
I guess it's time to face the reality
Why do I miss you when pain would never cease
Why do I miss you when all you gave me was
Pain - no peace
Pain - consumes my sanity
Look into my eyes to see the pain inside
But you will never know how hard that I tried
To be the man I was supposed to be
But I swear that this love will be the death of me
Because this world is cold and lonely without you
But I just can't live with everything I've been put through
Why do I miss you when pain would never cease
Why do I miss you when all you gave me was
Pain - no peace
Pain - consumes my sanity

Excuses
02:24

I haven't been sober for a long time
And you can buy a dozen of my excuses for a dime, but I tried
To put your feelings before mine
But you can tell by the look in my eyes that I'm lying to you
I'm lying to you
I never, ever tell the truth
I'm sorry mama, I'm sorry dad
I'm not the golden boy that you wish you had
There's a beast inside, and I tried to hide
But it's dragging me down where I will never be found again
Do you know regret and shame
When I'm the one you have to blame
Every day is the fucking same
And I swear that it's got a hold of me
I'm sorry that I can't be a real man
I'm sorry that I hurt you, but you just don't understand
What I'm going through, it's what I've got to do
To keep myself alive and I swear I'm not lying this time
I'm sorry mama, I'm sorry dad
I'm not the golden boy that you wish you had
There's a beast inside, and I tried to hide
But it's dragging me down where I will never be found again
Do you know regret and shame
When I'm the one you have to blame
Every day is the fucking same
And I swear that it's got a hold of me
I dug a grave for myself and I'll be buried with my hopes and dreams, and what's left of my integrity
I've never been very good at apologies, but I owe it to you
So I'm sorry for being me
