Painting the Roses Red

forget to feel
you know you wanna
just forget all about it
you used to believe
you could be somebody
but lately you doubt it

is anything real
you know you've gotta
find a way around it
you used to believe
there was something out there
but you never found it

try hard to steal
you know all the ways away
except from how much you're hurtin'
you used to believe
you could be such a blessing
but now you feel like such a burden

it's a bad deal
you sigh, just shakin' your head
givin' up like you had already known it
you used to believe
you didn't have to do this alone
but were never really shown it

another broken seal
i'll do whatever it takes to save you
though i know i'm no kind of savior
you used to believe
that you hid the scars so well
but i've been watchin' your behavior

like a ship without a keel
what holds you together is the mystery
as you leave clue after clue to your brokenness
you used to believe
that you were completely irreparable
but together, i think we can fix whatever's broken it
