you're a flower in my eyes
and all flowers are beautiful until they die
give them more water to grow
give them too much and now you’re left all alone
there’s nothing but the hole that you left inside my heart
i'm tightening the knots but you're tearing them apart
staring at the walls it’s my thoughts that you assault
you fill me up with anger making everything my fault
i can see you when i close my eyes
make me feel so hopeless it’s your words that i despise
you are so perfect, but when i bow down on my knees
you shatter glass across the floor just to make me bleed
i'm your machine, you make me feel all of your pain
but its not perfect
a flawed machine that you create
i need to learn to think for myself
i won’t admit that i need some help
i'm growing restless, you keep me up at night
today the sun dies
ignorance is for the blind
chained down, i listen to your song
but you weren't singing to me at all

i can’t change how i feel when the ones i held closest disappear
in nothing but the blink of an eye i leave you all behind
ripping flowers by the stem, my hands are full
and my heart is filled with sorrow
i won’t see you tomorrow
look through me
(you want it bad)
destroy me
(you want it bad)
make me feel
(like there’s always tomorrow)
leave me be
(you're in my head)
let me think
(you're in my head)
you consume my memories
(i watched them burn away)
my thoughts of you are in pink
just the way that you want them to be
don't ever try to fly
to everyone who’s left, this will be my last goodbye
(as i look out in the cold the flowers died and i’m alone)
I can’t find an exit i’m failing myself
this is a cry for help
but there’s nobody to hear me
i can’t even speak
my thoughts of you are in pink
just the way that you want them to be
my thoughts of you are in pink
just the way they're supposed to be

i’m a burden to the one that left
on my own since a child, that weight’s on my chest
years of abuse and it’s a constant itch
and there’s a hole in my memories, you’re a heartless bitch
take it all away
set you down with my pride
you’ll never need it
set you down, with my pride
one more taste of my own days
(left here)
holding onto everything
(can’t even watch me suffer on)
find a place to hide away
(left here)
hanging on a memory
(can’t even watch me suffer on)
you never even cared
about the lives that you left all alone
only sixteen, my mother with a child that you won’t even call your own
my childhood was postponed
don’t leave me here
please don’t leave me alone
the pain i go through
i don’t know how to feel alive
