lyrics

I thought that I found a way to empathize with what you did
but I can't escape the thoughts and pictures that you left inside my mind. how could you think that it's okay to leave my here with these thoughts?
I thought I could handle it but it's not okay, I'm not okay.

now I'm stranded here with these pictures in my head
and nothing to control it.
well, am I going insane? the jealousy. I snap myself back.
one, two, three. just stay here with me.

(pre-chorus)
'cause it's not okay.

(chorus)
I thought that I found a way to empathize with what you did,
I'm not okay I'm trying to fight off what you put inside my head.
how could you do this to yourself, how could you do this to me?
it's not okay.

and the worst part is it's untreatable,
just gotta deal with this ugly growth on my skull,
no one can see it, but it's eating me alive,
nobody else can tell I'm dyeing on the inside.
is this contagious? feels like a plague, a leprosy that slowly eats my brain. feels like I'm going insane.

(pre-chorus)
(chorus)

(bridge)
I thought that I somehow could sympathize with you.
maybe if I could find the light in this, I might not be confused.
I thought that some way somehow I'd figure out how to talk this out with you.
just me and you.

(chorus)
(bridge)
are you okay? cause I'm not that okay.
