We both fought to get here
We both thought we wouldn’t make it
But we both ended up in the same place
The knots were taut around our necks
We both thought this was for the best
We’d rather be dead than feel this way again
But the love that we lost
Was just the thing we needed to carry on
It planted the seed inside our hearts
And those seeds, they grew
No one could have ever known
That they’d grow to the extent that they’re at now
It seems I lost myself on the way to find you
And now that we’re together
I’m still not exactly sure where I am
I’d sacrifice my own well-being to see this through to the end
Because I’d rather be dead than feel that way again
I lost myself inside my own head
Until you join me inside my mind
You can quit telling me how you think I should feel
I’ve felt this way my whole goddamn life
Don’t think anything’s going to change
Just because you’re telling you think it should
I’ll drown my sorrow in whatever I find fitting
I’ll exacerbate the matter if I that find it suits me
I’ll give up, I’ll give in, I’ll surround myself with sin
But with you here by my side, I’ll consider changing my life
