I... hope that I can seem flawless to you And

always take away the pain that you'll go through My

impression is not always what it seems You're

more of a reflection of what I used to be So

...why do I feel hollow when I look at your photograph You?

take down my fortress and kill me with a smile Please 

hold that thought a while And

I'll try to put you on this path I

hope you find the road I couldn't see You



won't be by yourself I'll

live for your problems and think of you when I'm gone Don't

worry now it won't be long Once



I was you I thought the world was safe A

new perspective everybody; is insane Protecting

you is a paranoid excuse I

know that you'll do better than I could ever do And



... thoughts of self-destruction Are

now all buried in the past You

take down my barricade and melt away my heart If

loving hurts so much I want this pain to always last I

hope you pass the test that I have failed You



won't be by yourself I'll

live for your problems and think of you when I'm gone Don't

worry now it won't be long I



apologize to you for the words not spoken yet Don't

want you to look back and live in regret Some

day you'll ask me why I was away
