Everything You Can'T Change

They say good comes to those who wait But what if the wait is so hard it tears you apart, makes your heart stop What if there's no light in the tunnel, no one to turn to It's crazy how the heart can affect your whole life Can't breathe, can't see, you're so blind Love is patient, love is kind It's all a lie It eats away like a cancer at the thoughts in your mind Distance makes the heart grow fond but time makes memories fade They slip away, every day it's a race to get back to the place where you felt safe Where your soul was enslaved by the one that can take away all the pain Now you feel like you'll go insane without them right there in your face You'd give it all to go back to that night where everything was alright She's there by your side Smooth skin on your lips, softest kiss Hands on her hips, pure bliss Now you sit alone with clenched fists as blood drips from your wrists You're filled with shame You must carry all the blame for everything you can't change That's right, suppress the pain Just shove it all down No emotion, don't make a sound The urge is still real, the scars will never heal You can feel people's eyes burn holes into your skin The battle within, you can't win It's a disease that consumes your whole being Warped thoughts that you've been having won't go away like magic Defeat this tragic war Battle on, you are a soldier Put on that coat of armor and carry the blame no more
