Do you still not see what you left in me?
Your words still shape me,
my mind can’t break this twisted memory.
So take this melody and mould it,
and shape a destiny
(in all you see)
And I hope you know that I am trying.
I hope you know that there is so much time left
(In all this difference and imprecision,
a chance for me, a chance for you.)
I know you know there’s a place for the ones like us
‘Cause we kept hanging on.
I’m emotionless to all your tired judgement
Sick of resurrecting all my fears
That I still wear from all those years
But I can't seem to shake this past from me
Or present a life in evergreen
Please take me back to the start
So I can tell myself not to write myself out
of those books I haven't read,
my mind's obsessed
but I’m still a mess
(I can’t mess this up again)
Will you believe in me,
and have faith in those words that leave my lips?
I wish I didn't hold on to yours,
I wish you never said them at all,
well wishing’s pointless
(well wishing’s pointless)
Please take me back to the start
(back to the start)
To where it all went wrong.
Well can I make it right?
(you were always wrong)
Well can I even try?
Can I even try?
(you were always wrong)
And still I hope you know
oh yeah I hope you know that I'm trying
(my mind’s obsessed and I’m still a mess)
I hope that you know, I've been doing great lately.
The fact still remains, words don't matter to me anyway,
I'll make my life stand evergreen
knowing that I gave it something.
