Left Outside

--------------------

Have you ever felt alone inside
Have you ever tried to run and hide
Have you ever been left outside
Have you ever felt alone inside
Have you ever tried to run and hide
Have you ever been left outside
Left outside

The minutes crawling by
I'm practicing my favorite lie
Pieces of my broken mind
Put together just enough to hide
This numbness in my chest
Slowly taking a hold of me
Please just let me fail this test right now
I'll gladly end it purposely

I only wanted you to stay
You never cared in any way
Choking on every word you say
You'll never stop the games you play
I only wanted you to stay
You never cared in any way
Choking on every word you say
You'll never stop the games you play
You'll never stop the games you play

Have you ever felt alone inside
Have you ever tried to run and hide
Have you ever been left outside

Even though
Everything inside me screams to let it go
I won't give in I won't become the one to let them know
Cause all you've ever needed was for us to go our seperate ways
Us to go our seperate ways

I only wanted you to stay
You never cared in any way
Choking on every word you say
You'll never stop the games you play
I only wanted you to stay
You never cared in any way
Choking on every word you say
You'll never stop the games you play

Have you ever felt alone inside
Have you ever tried to run and hide
Have you ever been left outside

So can you tell me why I feel like I'm to blame
For losing at your game
Your game
Stripped of all my pride
My pride
Watching myself die inside

This mask I wear has become more familiar than what's underneath
The husk of a man I've become
How do I erase these thoughts I cannot face

I've gotten way to good at pretending
Filled to the brim with regretful emotions
I'm standing still
I'm standing still
A collection of mistakes I cherish alone by myself
By myself

We tried to connect this song with the previously released
DEAF EARS and STRUNG OUT and the themes within them. The
breakup which the song revolves around is the initial cause for
the feeling of being alone. The listener is put in perspective
of someone who is just lying to themselves slowly coming to
terms with reality and facing the truth. The person is now looking
back on memories they deeply regret but cannot let go of.
The downward spiral begins.
