Dance Of The Wounded

(ooooohhhhh) (ooooooohhhhh) (ahhhhhhhhh) (ooooooooohhhhh)

You move like nothing happened,

while I carry what you left behind.

Every word you threw at me still lingers in my mind.

I don’t know when I changed.

I don’t know when I broke.

I only know I used to breathe before you took the air

away. (oooooh) (ahhhhhhh) (oooooooooh)

You don’t have to touch me to leave another scar.

You know exactly where to strike,

you know exactly who you are.

A silence can cut deeper when I know what it means.

Every time you walk away,

something disappears from me.

I keep pretending I’m alright,

but I’m falling apart in places you will never see.

Look what you’ve done to me.

I’m not the person I was.

You took the light out of my eyes and left the dark

in its place. Look what you’ve done to me.

I can’t remember how to heal.

Every wound you couldn’t see became a wound I learned to feel.

(ooooohhhhh) (ahhhhhhhhh) I hear your voice when the room is empty.

I see your face when I close my eyes.

I hate that memories can still control me.

I hate that I still feel everything I try to hide.

You left your fingerprints on every broken thought.

Now even peaceful moments feel like something I’ve lost.

I wanted answers. You gave me silence.

I wanted peace. You gave me another reason to disappear inside myself.

(ooooooooohhhhh) (ahhhhhhhhh) I’ve screamed without making a sound.

I’ve cried where nobody could see.

I’ve carried all this weight until it started carrying me.

And I’m tired. God,

I’m so tired. I don’t want to be angry anymore.

I don’t want to hate anymore.

I just want to feel

like myself again.

LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE TO ME!

I’M BARELY BREATHING! YOU TURNED MY HEART

INTO SOMETHING I DON’T RECOGNIZE!

LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE TO ME!

I’M TIRED OF FIGHTING!

EVERY PIECE OF ME

YOU BROKE

IS STILL SCREAMING TONIGHT! (oooooooooooooooooohhhhh) (aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh)

You didn’t kill me.

You did something worse.

You taught me

how to live with the pain. (oooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhh) (ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

I’m just… so tired. (ooooooooooooooooohhhhh)
