And Now Hope Is Leaving Me Too

Glass was surrounding me with its layers
And I knew what it showed didn't matter
I kept telling myself I had a choice
It was to listen to my inner voice

But the walls 'round me are getting thicker
From the other side they see a monster
Every bit of hope I'm coming across
Cannot make itself heard through all the noise

Of these walls I can't see the end
I'm becoming my own worst friend
I want my older self to come and tell me
They can be broken because

I can trust myself no more
I can trust my faith no more
I've been trying to wipe the glass off my skin
Reflections I could touch were more than a dream
But each one I held close has been shattering
And every gleam I let in has been leaving
And now hope is leaving me too
And now hope is leaving me too

So many times I remember thinking
"Now that I am free, I can start living"
All of my dreams didn't look so far-off
And hearing the answers wouldn't be tough

Everyday my light has been refracting
I'm in a cycle that's never-ending
I see these lives that I can't be part of
Remind me I will never be enough

Of these walls I can't see the end
I'm becoming my own worst friend
I want my older self to come and tell me
It's worth breaking them because

I can trust myself no more
I can trust my faith no more
I've been trying to wipe the glass off my skin
Reflections I could touch were more than a dream
But each one I held close has been shattering
And every gleam I let in has been leaving
And now hope is leaving me too
And now hope is leaving me too

I could feel them fade until I met you
I lost a bit of myself
I lost a bit of myself
"I know I'll destroy them 'cause I always do"
This is what I told myself
This is what I told myself
But they are stronger than I wanted to
Now how can I trust myself?
Now how can I trust myself?

I can trust myself no more
