Chasing the American dream and amphetamines, At a record speed— Just spun me around, And slowed me down. Down… Down… Partners in crime, where there’s honor among thieves, So thick with lies, we must believe. Could anyone love me the way you do? Without all the makeup… with all the nudes? You put me down, pick me up, Put me down, pick me up, Put me down— Pick me back up again. And I fail you again and again, Repent my sins… And pretend I could just walk away. ill show you today It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do— Let go of you. You were a prayer wrapped in a pill, A silent deal I couldn't undo. Now I’m choking on the truth— It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do… Let go of you. Chemicals… The balance is not the same. No one’s playing fair, But we’re all playing the game. You dressed my wounds in velvet shame— And left me bleeding just the same. I built a home inside the high, Furnished with all your half-true lies. When you’ve been made real, You can’t be made unreal again— Not even for your favorite sins. It’s the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do… Let go of you. No more lullabies in silver foil, No more truth that tastes like ruin. I held you like a vow— But I know it now… Letting go’s the only way through. You were lightning in my veins— But storms don’t stay. The sky clears, And I walk away.
