verse:
Crashing I break like the waves,
Going down, swimming down.
We are no longer jointed, furniture broken,
Instead feelings of disrepair, un-erasable words spoken.
In my emotions I will drown
For this is my own sorrow
I used to believe that I was made for something great,
As I know now tragedy was always my fate.
chorus:
We’re actors on a stage, just learning our lines,
Keeping up a façade that’s no longer mine.
The picket fence shattered, the pieces laid bare,
And I hide what I feel ’cause I’m scared to be seen there.
All the judgment, the whispers, the cruel commentary—
So I stay in the shadows, behind my own story.
A part in the play I was never meant to be,
Lost behind the curtain where no one sees me.
verse:
I wanted us to be the grand couple, center stage,
The ones who held the world together when it shakes.
But I can’t see that vision anymore
From where I’m standing now—
In the heartache and torment
That keeps hollowing me out.
I long to be free.
I wish freedom meant together,
Yet it feels as though I’ve created this rage..
The guilt of that settles heavy in my chest.
There was a time I swore
We were meant to last forever.

So I stay in the shadows, behind my own story.

verse:
I want to tell you I’m sorry—
For the trouble, the memories, the pain we’ve gathered.
I can’t keep moving like this,
Carving new scars into the moments we once cherished.
So you need to know this:
I love you, and I still care deeply.
You’ve left a scar on my heart
That I will carry with me always.
I don’t want to say goodbye—
Not goodbye… never goodbye… goodbye.

For this is my own sorrow

As i know now tragedy was always my fate.
