lyrics

My hopes keep crashing down
But I don’t make a sound
I tell myself you’ll change
Pieces I rearrange
I know someday I’ll drown
I’ll wait here for my crown
But you just seem to keep sweet talking
I don’t know why I’ve yet to start walking

And I’m not strong
But I’m trying
I’m leaving everything (I’m leaving everything)
Hey!

Pictures and movies will never really show
But it’s best to be alone
Not waiting by the phone
Candy and roses will never really do
‘Cause I can’t forget that bruise
You left now I’m all new

And I’m not strong
But I’m trying
I’m leaving everything (I’m leaving everything)

I never said
You keep on lying
Always tried
No one understands me on the inside
I never cared
Yeah, I figured
Shut me out
I needed you there when I cried
I never said
You keep on lying
Always tried
I can’t ever forget what you did
I never cared
Yeah, I figured
Shut me out
All those memories are dead

My heart is broken I plan to let it heal
But this wound is all too real
Something I can’t conceal
You took her home and then you went inside
And now all our love has died
Hope you enjoyed the ride

And I’m not strong
But I’m trying
I’m leaving everything (I’m leaving everything)

I never said
You keep on lying
Always tried
No one understands me on the inside
I never cared
Yeah, I figured
Shut me out
I needed you there when I cried
I never said
You keep on lying
Always tried
I can’t ever forget what you did
I never cared
Yeah, I figured
Shut me out
All those memories are dead

You build me up just to knock me down
