TW: slight vent

———

They say, "I won't hurt you anymore"
"I promise, I've changed from before"
Put on a smile and say it's alright
Let them back in, let them stay the whole night

But I'm just tired of this fake world
Don't know what to say, brain's all a whirl
So I run away to my own world
And in the night I dance, alone

The place I called home is not mine anymore
I'll carve out my own from solid rock
Yet I still find myself wandering back home to you
'Cause you promised forever, and I agreed

They say, "You're too trusting, you're too kind"
"You're too nice for your own good" drives me outta my mind
Try to change myself, for you, for them
Puttin' up walls that I can't take down
Then I let you back in, let you stay the night

But I'm just tired of playin' pretend
And I don't wanna let you mend
You asked for it, I said I'd change
It's what you get when you say, "work alone."

The place I called home is not mine anymore
I'll carve out my own from solid rock
Yet I still find myself wandering back home to you
'Cause you promised forever, and I agreed

Oh, turning emotions off
Oh, turning the cold wind on
A breeze floats in through the window
It's me, you see, and I've become a ghost
And I'll haunt you, I'll keep coming back to see you again

The place I called home is not mine anymore
I'll carve out my own from solid rock
Yet I still find myself wandering back home to you
'Cause you promised forever, and I agreed
