Paradox

Do you ever just think back to things you've done and wonder
"I should apologize" but maybe they forgot and I don't
I don't wanna bring things up when it's me who's made it worse
And yeah, it hurts
But maybe I don't deserve
I don't deserve to feel this way
When I've also caused such pain
And it's alarming, I feel fake
And yet I don't know how to shake it
I'm constantly at war, I'm on the separate ends
And it's my lonely self between, but I can't see it

I'm a walking paradox
I'm too much but I'll never be enough
I'm a walking paradox
I don't know what it is or what I want

Such happy memories, they're joyous, filled with light and laughter
Warm and surrounding me, the kind that keeps you smiling after
But God even then I felt it, temporary, momentary
I just hoped we could avoid it

No matter what I do, I get in my own way, let's face it
Chasing happiness so desperately leads you astray and
I mess up, no matter what I do
And it's sad, but after all, I think I'll miss you

I'm a walking paradox
I'm too much but I'll never be enough
I'm a walking paradox
I don't know what it is or what I want

I'm a walking paradox
I'm too much but I'll never be enough
I'm a walking paradox
I don't know what it is or what I want

Why did I readily neglect the ones who cared about me
In favour of those who couldn't give a shit if I was happy
But now I know, the story's come to close
And I'm a better person now I'm here without you

I'm not even bitter, honestly, the truth is I am thankful
You've helped me become a better me, a stronger individual
And I've learned lessons, in ways I'd rather not have
But I'm moving on
Yeah I'm going on, oh
I'm going on, on, oh
Oooh, oooh
