about
fun fact: it took around 20 takes to get the final take of the ending acoustic guitar. extremely worth it for the beautifully delicate turn the song takes. <3
lyrics
i realize now
that your words
were only meant to harm
and drain
any semblance of stability
for simply needing help
but you claim i am a burden
to go to my friends for help
you say that as if its a bad thing, why is that?
we both know that this is an attack
i will no longer play the problem
of an issue you create
of an issue you create, whoa oh
tell me old friend, when you face me
why are you so scared of change?
solace may be hard to find
when your feelings form an ocean
dont know how you could say
to never show emotion
you say that as if its a bad thing, why is that?
we both know that this is an attack
i will no longer play the problem
of an issue you create
dont talk behind my back
as if i dont know your plan
im sick and tired of taking blame
a verbal punching bag of shame
dont talk behind my back
say a word i might attack
im stronger than you think i am
you say i couldnt, i say i can
to be the happiest ive felt, to finally cross the bend
to be worthy of a lover or another real friend
to be comfortable, be bittersweet, anything my heart could see
you say it all as if its a bad thing, all as if its a bad thing!
<solo>
you say that as if its a bad thing!
</solo>
you say that as if its a bad thing, why is that?
we both know that this is an attack
well im tired of playing the problem
and you say that as if its a bad thing
why is that? (dont talk behind my back)
we both know that this is an attack (say a word i might attack)
well im tired of playing the problem (im stronger than you think i am)
and you say that as if its a bad thing (you say i couldnt, i say i can)
you say that as if its a bad thing
you say that as if its a bad thing
that your words
were only meant to harm
and drain
any semblance of stability
for simply needing help
but you claim i am a burden
to go to my friends for help
you say that as if its a bad thing, why is that?
we both know that this is an attack
i will no longer play the problem
of an issue you create
of an issue you create, whoa oh
tell me old friend, when you face me
