Every step takes me backwards

Every turning leads me astray

I don’t care about your words

They won’t make it okay

.

Can you explain to me why

I’ll never survive on my own

You’re always so close by

Yet it feels like I’m alone

.

Am I really a lost cause?

Can’t you fix me?

I know I have many flaws

But don’t look at me with glee

.

You’ve been like this for a while

Like you’re trying to break me down

Aren’t you supposed to make me smile

Instead of making me frown

.

Oh I’ve noticed the cruelty in your voice

The coldness that forms your eyes

You never give me a choice

I’m a victim of your lies
