You shut me out from all I know
Shoved me & beat me away from you
I never was given the chance to breathe
So I've been cut open, slowly bleeding
Cut me up & I will die
Cheer me up & I will shine
But I don't know what 'cheer' means
You can try & I will sing
If you can get through to me
[Chorus:]
You'll never have my back
You will never be
Because I have to fix me
So run so far away
I was losing ground before I could live
Stuck on an island, trying to move on from this
Never trying hard to find my way home
My world was so selfish, so all alone
Don't try & I will die
Don't lie & I won't cry
Crying is a love of mine
It's simple, really, all the time
You'll never have my back
You will never be
Because I have to fix me
So run so far away
Shred the memories away
Never going to a better day
Drink it & smoke it til it fades
Everything is in the rain
Like pain
Like pain
You'll never have my back
You will never be
Because I have to fix me
So run so far away
You'll never have my back
You will never be
Because I have to fix me
So run so far away
