It's like watching a rose just wither away When beauty crumbles and decays It's like having a voice, with no chance to speak It's something that you hold, and hold to keep
Fall to my knees, God, I beg you please Show me just a little of mercy Help me, help me, I'm doing all I can Pretend I'm unaffected, but their pain became my burden
Swear this isn't what I wanted God, this house is haunted The way that this could be, if things would remedy And after all of this we've been through I wish that we could switch shoes This life ain't fair for us all
My ears resound with the sound of broken dreams I had where you would breathe, exist eternally Tell them to leave, you're coming home with me Remove that damn IV I wish my words could cure illness
It's like running a race with no legs or Swimming a lap with no arms The door may have slammed in my face but The windows will heal my scars
Swear this isn't what I wanted God, this house is haunted The way that this could be, if things would remedy And after all of this we've been through I wish that we could switch shoes This life ain't fair for us all
My walls are built and on display I drown in guilt, due to dismay Maybe someday I can see how this has shaped me Bite my tongue, with swelling lungs I gasp for air and let this go
Swear this isn't what I wanted God, this house is haunted The way that this could be, if things would remedy And after all this shit we've been through I wish that we could switch shoes Well, this life ain't fair for us all
