He stays; I hold Those days close to my heart I know that we were good The best you, the best me We couldn't see the dark for the light I didn't see it coming When she creeps in, she's like a second skin She gets into my veins and I can't sleep a wink And so I drown the fire till I can't feel a thing The lies I tell myself to keep the world in place Begin to burn away until it's all over again And nothing's left to save When she is me When she is me When she was me When she was me I wish I could undo all of the pain Of what I put you through The things I said, the things I lost Will haunt me till the end of my days I know that I was wrong When I lost hold of what I believed And I let you go, I knew that everything I thought for sure I knew had made a fool of me So I had to know you were the enemy Because I couldn't face that I had let her in again And I was so ashamed When she creeps in, she's like a second skin She gets into my veins and I can't sleep a wink And so I drown the fire till I can't feel a thing The lies I tell myself to keep the world in place Begin to burn away until it's all over again And nothing's left to save When she is me When she is me When she was me When she was me
