The Answer

[Verse:]

She spins a tale of love so bittersweet that it stains my lips

I wonder how you got so lonely with a grace so poisonous

But she melts away in the light

I could never stay away,

But I could sure f*****g try



I don't deserve this

I'm lost looking for purpose

No, I'm not worthless

I'm just looking for answers

You're not the answer



[Chorus:]

This is not

What I want

I just keep running away from the pain

I swear, I swear, I'll never make it out of here

The answer stays the same



[Verse 2:]

She's misery, but when she leaves I find I'm wondering

How many times have I tried?

Why can't I just get this right?

She slips away from me again

Force me away, force me to hide my heart

When I'd give anything to lie with you



[Chorus:]

This is not

What I want

I just keep running away from the pain

I swear, I swear, I'll never make it out of here

The answer stays the same.



[Verse 3:]

There's something growing inside me

My hearts not yours to break

I've let you go.

I found the answer was hiding inside me

Don't f*****g judge me

I command respect



Who would've thought my life could fall right in front of me?

I watched you burn out of reality

You found me trivial

I found you a tragedy

The night you burned I found what's left of me

This is what's left of me



[Chorus:]

What I want

I just keep running away from the pain

I swear, I swear, I'll never make it out of here

The answer stays the same.



I swear, I swear I'm just looking for answers, you're not the answer.

I swear, I swear I got the answer, you're not the answer.



It's not something I could wish upon myself.
