Are

Well I've been cheated
And stabbed in the back
But, see, I've cheated
Never even tried to care
All 'cause I let you get to me

It was dumb; 4 years ago I recall
And all those lines I faked
"It's cool, I'm fine, let's go"
Just never meant a thing 'til today
Since I've realized I let it all get to me

This is it, this is, it is
We promised we'd be fine and move on
But now I'm stuck again, not making a sound
I don't care who finds me
And I don't care if I'm all alone

You've been so patient
I've been so gritty
Coming from me, that's a different story
I've gotta get ready
So I can leave this state of mind already
