Then and Now

It’s hard to keep on going when it just
Never feels worth it and I’m done
Playing pretend when I don’t have a reason to keep on pushing
When all I really want to know
Is if this will all pay off
Oh, I just don’t know
I just don’t know
If oh, am I a fool
Is this still worth it
Lying awake at night
Should we keep this alive
Oh, I just don’t know
I just don’t know
So what’s the point in trying when I’m just
Left out, forgotten in the dust
I'll stay here waiting, hoping, someday you'll find us
Oh, I just don’t know
I just don’t know
If oh, am I a fool
Is it still worth it
This feeling every night
It won't take me alive
Oh, I just don’t know
I just don’t know

When did it get so hard just to be
When did it get so hard to breathe
To find some space to be alone?
To find some comfort in this lonely world
It feels like nobody is happy
Trying to find a purpose; finding nothing
We all just want to feel okay
So why does that seem hard to me
I’m trying my best to be
On my way to anything
But not going nowhere’s hard to see when
It’s starting to feel impossible to breathe
We’re trying so hard not to feel
Drown it all out with substances
Pretend it all doesn’t exist
‘Till we can’t stop ignoring it

What's Left of Me

Slow this down, ‘cause I can’t find my
Grip on this at all
And I’m afraid I might fall off
Mind firing off, trigger happy
Mouth, catatonic, statue
Can’t figure out what’s wrong with me
It’s not the same as it used to be
Can’t recognize
Please slow down
My head whips back and spins begin to grow
I’m still trying to get control
It’s not enough for me
We’re killing time but for no reason
What are we doing here?
It’s not the same as it used to be
Can’t recognize what is left of me
I know I’ll find what I’m looking for eventually
Is this right? I don’t know
It’s not the same as it was
Is this right? I don’t know
Is this right? I don’t know
It’s not the same anymore
Is this right? I don’t know

I Needed You To Go

We used to know each other once
We were kids but never knew the problems that would fall on us
We were inseparable then
But sometimes life gets in between the things that never want to part
I can’t say I know it, how you feel
Do you still wear it on your face
That mask and smile that I got used to seeing every day
The world threw you under the bus
And maybe you’re still bitter or your wounds never closed up
I can’t say I know it, how you feel
All that I can do is just be here
Just be here
You say you’re better now
And that it all worked out
But you and I both know that it’s not that simple, not that simple
The things you said last night
And that look in your eye
I know I said I’d stay
But it’s not that simple, not that easy
The day we went away I left you all alone
To live a life I thought was worth the loss
I want to make this right but I’d only make it worse
I’d just come to you and say it
But it’s not that simple
You say you’re better now
And that it all worked out
But you and I both know that it’s not that simple, not that simple
I see it in your eye
That it’s just the same old lie
You tell me you’re ok
But it’s not that simple, not that easy
You say you’re better now
And that it all worked out
But you and I both know that it’s not that simple, not that easy
Not that simple, not that easy
