[Verse 1] Easy to forget, a lifetime in seconds Kicked to the curb, just another teenage mess But now they're back, apologizing Saying they missed me, and they're desperate Like déjà vu, a familiar dread Remembering the fights, the tears in my bed The ultimatums, the apologies, the lies Why do they want me when I'm broken and tired? Why the pressure, when they're the ones who lit the fire? [Pre-Chorus] Little pieces of my soul still linger Left behind like shattered remnants of a figure I'm drowning in a sea of echoes and regrets Can't breathe under the weight of what they forget It's over, let it be, I'm done trying to cope No more waking up, praying I can still hope For a better day, one where I don't feel used And loved conditionally, like a crutch to abuse [Chorus] Fall asleep, just let it be Maybe in my dreams, I'll finally be free From these chains that bind me in shame From the memory of relationships that went up in flames I wish I could just sleep, and never wake But my racing thoughts keep pushing back the peace I want to make They say come back, and I should give in But they don't understand, it's over, I'm broken within [Verse 2] Memory lane keeps repeating the pain Like a warped vinyl record, a never-ending refrain I'm held down by the weight of what I've been through Haunted by the echoes of all I "could've" done If only they'd known, they'd be better off A clean slate, a fresh start, without the heavy scoff But I'm stuck here, a ghost in the hallways Longing to be left alone, to fade away When I'm gone, maybe they'll finally let go Of the memories, the love, the toxic control [Interlude] Oh-oh-oh... Yeah-ah-ah... Oh-oh-oh... [Bridge] Wake up, wake up, it's time to face it The truth is we'll just crash and burn, there's nothing left to fix Stop making me choose, when I'm already drained dry Let me fall, let me fade, I'm tired of trying I'm tired of trying [Final Chorus] Fall asleep, just let it be Maybe in my dreams, I'll finally be free From these chains that bind me in shame From the memory of relationships that went up in flames I wish I could just sleep, and never wake But my racing thoughts keep pushing back the peace I want to make They say come back, and I should give in But they don't understand, it's over, I'm broken within [Outro] Deja vu, playing through again The cycle of heartache, the vicious refrain I close my eyes, and drift away To a place where I can heal, where I can find my own way To leave the pieces of my shattered heart behind And in the deep silence, I'll finally unwind From these chains, from this endless fight I'll fall asleep, and fade into the night [end]
