Lyrics
You try and you try, but again it calls your name and it calls you back, back to a place. Back to a place inside. You just don't know where to hide. So...
Hurt is all that I have. (When it calls your name from the past).
And nothing is what it seems cause' it's all changed again.
LET IT DIE! What I tried to be, yeah.
Holding back is just what I did.
Broken pieces are now what's left.
It's another falling apart tragedy stricken by misery.
Thinking back wipe away the tears. Realizing all these wasted years.
It's not just my fault BECAUSE' IT'S NOT MY WAY!
What I tried to be, yeah. And all that's left INSIDE!
CHORUS
Now I can hold my own, or I can try and flee again from this wasteland that's killing us all.
You can try and hide or follow my lead, yeah. Just take us away from here.
AWAY FROM HERE!
You try, but it calls, then it came and you know that you're the one. A place you tried to hide. You just don't know who you are anymore.
You try, but it calls, then it came and you know that you're the one.
A place where you tried to hide! Just remember this!
You're not the same anymore.
You're not the same as you were.
You're not the same anymore.
Break down! Just break down!
