Meaning

Has anyone ever told you 

The true meaning of the word 

The underlying truth behind 

The ever-present hurt  

And screaming from within yourself 

Yet no one seems to hear 

As you're sitting there alone at night 

Silently reliving all your fears 

Has anyone ever told you 

How it feels to die alone? 

Do you know the path you're headed down 

As you scream into the phone 

Do see the way your words cut 

Deep down to the core 

Can you feel the ever-growing hatred 

As he's calling you a whore.. again 

Did anyone ever tell you 

That things were meant to be this way 

Did you ever think that you'd be here 

Losing yourself and slowly withering away 

How did we get here? 

What do you mean? 

There's hurricanes on Christmas 

It's odd not to hear the screams 

As we're at each other's throats again 

We never thought it'd be this hard 

To walk away from comfortable 

When you're holding all the shards 

From all the broken promises 

And tiny little lies 

You said things would be different now 

Blatantly lying to my eyes 

With fists and words like hand grenades 

You're destroying every inch 

You don't get to choose the air I breathe  

Or plan the details of my lynch  

I know that you want to have control 

Of the way I move  

And the rhythm in my walk but 

YOU 

ARE 

NOT 

GOD 

You don’t get to call the shots 

You can try and tie me down 

But I will surely leave 

And you can't stop me 

Even though you think you can 

You are just a tiny, empty, shell of a man 

You don’t love me, you never did 

You can lie and say you meant it 

But I never would have hid 

From hands that held me close 

And calmed my insecurities 

You don't understand the meaning  

And you're full of more impurities 

Than you ever saw in me 

You don't have to take the blame 

But fifteen years from now 

You'll be drunk and alone and 

Think back on the days 

When you held a sunbeam in your hands 

And you let her get away
