How Could I Be Loved If It's So Easy To Hate Me? (feat. Becca Packer)
Yeah the beat stops in my heart, the fermata holds
A wave of tension rushes, and the feeling is so cold
But I can't resist myself, I always seem to want more
Trying to be careless, but if I care less, then you won't know
These thoughts invade me, yeah they pervade me and my every move
Trying to evade the bad decisions, yeah I try to keep my cool
I'm scared to lose you, even before I had you in my arms
In the end I'm screaming at the fool that dreamed of any start
These feelings in a cage, shaking at that cell so violent
Trying to get off the island, but trapped by their own fears
To be alone is so dark, they long for liberty
But the nightmare, of breathing air, suffocates them out of luxury
The stars they shine so bright even though so far away
If I could be there, shining in the dark sky, part of the array
In the back my light always seems to fade into gray
So nobody notices the pain I feel and how I ache
The water's cold
I'm scared to go
Yeah I'll drown, if I stay for a while
And if I fall
I can't stand up tall
For no one will take my hand and say they love me so
If they did, would I wanna know?
Trying to tame that old lion, that's been taunting me for years
I'm surprised I didn't cry, didn't even shed one tear
Cause when I try and be the man, I try to be so bold
I end up becoming the statue and dry the entire mold
So scared to repair, easier to let it burn
Except when the fire comes too close, that's when you feel it hurt
It becomes unbearable, almost hysterical, you try and wave your shirt
But the wind you blow only makes the embers the flame ignite and surge
And why is it my fault? Why do I have to be like this?!
Why is it me that's the fucked up dark masochist?
What did I do to the world that makes me so hated?
Why did I have to be the one that is so complicated?
No one understands me, the maze inside my brain
Quite unsolvable by anyone, impossible to ascertain
So to spare the pain, they better disdain me
How could I be so loved if it's so easy to hate me?
The water's cold
I'm scared to go
Yeah I'll drown, if I stay for a while
And if I fall
I can't stand up tall
For no one will take my hand and say they love me so
If they did, would I wanna know?
A wave of tension rushes, and the feeling is so cold
But I can't resist myself, I always seem to want more
Trying to be careless, but if I care less, then you won't know
These thoughts invade me, yeah they pervade me and my every move
Trying to evade the bad decisions, yeah I try to keep my cool
I'm scared to lose you, even before I had you in my arms
In the end I'm screaming at the fool that dreamed of any start
These feelings in a cage, shaking at that cell so violent
Trying to get off the island, but trapped by their own fears
To be alone is so dark, they long for liberty
