lyrics

I swore I wouldn't write about heartbreaks again
But I find myself detached from everything
Feelings polar opposites, they swing back and forth
Like a tornado, I wreck everything I touch

And I care, I care, I swear I do
but, wow, it must not seem like it
I hurt people I care dearly for
and I just cannot stop this shit

I got stuck inside a question that I could not find an answer for
Fumbling around the room, no lights and I can't find the door
I'm knocking shit everywhere, why can't I find the switch
to lighten up the room a bit and clean up some of this
(is this even possible to fix)
(oh god I hope it's possible to fix)

It happened to me countless times before, I remember what it's like
I never thought that I would be the person on the other side
I didn't try to start the ball in motion, but I reached out my hand
I fell head over heels and now I can't even stand

Because I don't know if every decision I've made has been the right one
but I've had to trust myself and I can say
that I'm sorry, but I needed this
My only ever-lasting regret is that the triggers won't be something you forget
