take the words i say
and you hold them against me
that's why i feel like i face this world alone
as i'm held in this place
hurts much more when i blame you
and still i feel like i have to hate the world

i've given you all i was willing to show
despite everything you believe
and while i'm pondering why
you still pierce through my mind
you thought you'd taken me
but you never got the best of me

blankness on my face
reveals more than i want to
the more i think that i've learned the less i know
in this bed that i've made
'cause the world is against me
the more i hide what i feel the more it shows

i've given you all i was willing to show
despite everything you believe
and while i'm pondering why
you still pierce through my mind
you thought you'd taken me
but you never got the best of me

i feel
alone
alone

take the words i say
and you hold them against me
the more i think that i've learned the less i know

i figured out all that i wanted to know
despite everything you believe
and while i'm pondering why
you still pierce through my mind
you thought you'd taken me
but you never got the best of me
i'm wondering why
you're still here in my mind
i thought you'd taken me
but you never got the best of me
