LYRICS

[Verse 1]
I skirt too far away
I ache for yesterday
With everything portrayed
Those feelings, they’re betrayed

[Pre-Chorus]
Took a long dark walk
And I’m hiding
For the things I thought
Weren’t enlightened
How the pain was caused
Wasn’t lying

[Chorus]
Well now I suffer because of you
Hope that I outgrew
A different point of view
I want to live up to
The things I thought I knew
You blew it all away
Leave your apathy behind
Should’ve been child’s play
Empathy’s a thing, so be kind

[Verse 2]
To your mind
To the world
Be understanding
You’re not blind
Just preferred
Getting lost in the night

[Pre-Chorus]
With your long dark walks
Are you crying?
Let it all distort
So you’re smiling
That’s a mental block
You’re not dying

[Chorus]
Well now I suffer because of you
Hope that I outgrew
A different point of view
I want to live up to
The things I thought I knew
You blew it all away
Leave your apathy behind
Should’ve been child’s play
Leave your apathy behind

suffer (letter to myself)
