(Chorus)
'Cause the last time I tried to fix this on my own
I built these walls so high, I ended up alone
I pushed you out by trying to keep the demons in
And I lost you once before the fight could even begin
Now you're telling me to do it by myself again
And I know, no matter what I do, I'm gonna lose, my love, in the end.

(Verse 2)
So do I open up and let the chaos spill?
Show you the mess you said you couldn't bear?
Or do I lock it down and try to force the will?
And pretend like I'm not screaming in despair?
One path is a flood, the other is a stone
And both of them lead to an empty home.
You were my anchor, you were my everything
Now you're just the echo of the song I used to sing.

(Chorus)
'Cause the last time I tried to fix this on my own
I built these walls so high, I ended up alone
I pushed you out by trying to keep the demons in
And I lost my world before the fight could even begin
Now you're telling me to do it by myself again
And I know, no matter what I do, I'm gonna lose, my love, in the end.

(Bridge)
It's a joke, it's a curse, this broken logic in my head
The "cure" you're asking for is the very thing that left me for dead
You were never just a friend, you were the air I was breathing in
You fell for the quiet, not the noise you asked to hear
And now the only thing that's clear…
Is that I'm broken. And I've lost her.

(Chorus - voice shattered, but resolved)
So the last time I tried to fix this on my own…
I'll just build the walls back up, and sit here on my throne
I'll push you out 'fore I can let the darkness win
It's a familiar kind of hell, a certain way to end.
You're telling me to do it by myself, well, fine.
I'll go back to the quiet, 'cause I thought that life was mine... when it was ours.

(Outro)
Yeah, I'll go back to the quiet.
It's the only thing I know.
And maybe you'll love the ghost of me…
But my heart died when you told me to go.
...She was more than a friend.

(Verse 1) You asked for the storm behind my eyes Said you'd love me through the gray So I showed you the cracks, the fractured skies And you decided you couldn't stay Said, "Figure it out, find your way back to the light And maybe then, I'll be your love again" But the problem with the dark, it bleeds into the sight And I don't know how to begin (Chorus) 'Cause the last time I tried to fix this on my own I built these walls so high, I ended up alone I pushed you out by trying to keep the demons in And I lost you once before the fight could even begin Now you're telling me to do it by myself again And I know, no matter what I do, I'm gonna lose, my love, in the end.
