I... hope that I can seem flawless to you And
always take away the pain that you'll go through My
impression is not always what it seems You're
more of a reflection of what I used to be So
...why do I feel hollow when I look at your photograph You?
take down my fortress and kill me with a smile Please
hold that thought a while And
I'll try to put you on this path I
hope you find the road I couldn't see You
won't be by yourself I'll
live for your problems and think of you when I'm gone Don't
worry now it won't be long Once
I was you I thought the world was safe A
new perspective everybody; is insane Protecting
you is a paranoid excuse I
know that you'll do better than I could ever do And
... thoughts of self-destruction Are
now all buried in the past You
take down my barricade and melt away my heart If
loving hurts so much I want this pain to always last I
hope you pass the test that I have failed You
won't be by yourself I'll
live for your problems and think of you when I'm gone Don't
worry now it won't be long I
apologize to you for the words not spoken yet Don't
want you to look back and live in regret Some
day you'll ask me why I was away
