lyrics

This Ones for Opie

The life I built with all of you
No longer has anything left to offer
What was I running from for so long
I will live my life proper

I thought you were the ones I could call friends
Now you barely try, to keep up appearances

The further the distance between
The less you all remember
But I will never forget
Your memories I will always treasure

Why does it
Always seem like time is suffocating
The oxygen that I need
To keep the fire burning

I swear I'm wasting away
I'm wasting these days
Too focused on what keeps me down

And I'll always try
To keep my head up
I don't know if I've been doing fine
Noone taught me life would
Be so tough

Why does it
Always seem like time is suffocating
The oxygen that I need
To keep the fire burning

I hope you understand
What I'm leaving behind
The ones who denied
My outstretched hands

Is it possible to change from everything we've learnt
Can we ever not rely on what we learnt at first

Should I bother showing you
Share what i've found as the truth
What will it take to
Get through to you

I'll always try to keep my head up
Am I doing fine? I don't know but,
Noone taught me
Life would be so tough

Why does it
Always seem like time is suffocating
The oxygen that I need
To keep the fire burning

I hope you understand
What I'm leaving behind
The ones who denied
My outstretched hands
