lyrics

Let's pretend this never happened
And we never had to be what was expected
We'll stop being our past selves
Resist the urge to borrow from pages
Because I can't compete with the image you have built up of me
And I'm bound to repeat the tired habits that left me stagnant

I'm still afraid of love
How easy it is to become unraveled
How misguided I can be
How quickly I can lose all I have worked for

The secrets I've defended are bursting at the seams of me
And I'm beginning to believe I'm destined to be bound in retrogression
I'll always the reflect the faulted features that I've seemed to inherit
I misunderstood the consequence of falling hard just like I always seem to
