Watch me fall asleep, with my eyes open
I hate to say it but I'll never see the day again
An open letter to myself, one more addressed to my friends
You always had my back but I have given in
It's taken too long, it's never worth it
Someday I'll find the missing piece linked to the hurt, and
I'll let it swallow me up, just like my parents did
You know, you always were right, I'm an embarrassment
These are the words I'd say to my missing self
The one the bottle took away, that's sitting on the shelf
If I could change my ways you know I always would
I guess sometimes it gets hard knowing I never could
Shades of grey, shades of black, just give it all you have
Eventually you'll see the colors start to flood right back
Shades of grey, shades of black, don't ever lose your heart
Dear yesterday, let's go back to the start
Please listen to me, you'll never see this coming
It feels good to run away from everyone surrounding
Your life, your love, your heartbreak
But drowning sorrow in pain, please don't dear yesterday.
Please listen to me, it's all I've ever wanted
I know it's easy to escape when we've all been forgotten
It feels good, it feels great, you'll never bat an eye
But don't be surprised when daylight starts to die
For so long I've sunk so low, pick me up again one more time
For so long I've lost control, stitch me up again side by side
