I know you would kill me if you saw me like this
And I'm sorry that you always hated yourself
It didn't have to be that way
And that's why I decided one day
To quit repeating and take a chance on something else
And why would you, wait for me, to get over the fear
And why would you, wait for me for twenty-three years
You spent so long searching for the easy way out
A unifying theory why you always felt wrong
Well it seems like you could've been right
You just buried the answer because you didn't like it
But now I'm ready to accept what has been true all along
I closed my eyes, my heart beat fast, I opened up the chest
My tears welled up, am I faking this, making this up
Then why do I feel at rest
(Feel at rest)
Why can't I stop laughing at the thought of me
Why can't I stop laughing at the thought of me
Why can't I stop laughing at the thought of me being happy
Because you are who I used to be
And I'm sorry that you always hated yourself
It didn't have to be that way
And that's why I decided one day
To quit repeating and take a chance on something else
And why would you, wait for me, to get over the fear
And why would you, wait for me for twenty-three years
You spent so long searching for the easy way out
A unifying theory why you always felt wrong
Well it seems like you could've been right
You just buried the answer because you didn't like it
But now I'm ready to accept what has been true all along
I closed my eyes, my heart beat fast, I opened up the chest
My tears welled up, am I faking this, making this up
Then why do I feel at rest
(Feel at rest)
Why can't I stop laughing at the thought of me
Why can't I stop laughing at the thought of me
Why can't I stop laughing at the thought of me being happy
Because you are who I used to be
