Lose Yourself

They say it's hard to fall in love
Maybe they never learned how to patiently wait
They say it's always dark before the dawn
But you walked away before the dawn could break

So who's really right in the end?
When you tore down the walls
But I'm the one alone in this bed?
As you feel his hands around your waste
I can feel them around my neck

God, this complacency has numbed me
And this numbing has scared me back into the deep
I'm slowly learning how to learn from something
And realizing the only thing worse than feeling pain
Is feeling nothing

There is an intoxication in her smile
And it went straight to my head
Without it, I can't see past these
Blurred lines that I've always been fed
And sometimes I wonder
Maybe my chest cavity is growing bigger
Or maybe my heart is just shrinking
Either way we decorate this ship
It's still sinking

And I always had love to blame
And I always had love to blame
As I try to find my way, I feel this pain
And I had love to blame
I had love to blame

If I were to believe in love
I would have to see a flood
But knowing my luck
I would somehow float to shore
And have to wake up

I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up
'Cause I'm trying, just trying to find the light inside

So roll this stone away
I don't want to sleep another day
I just want to be in your presence
So, please, let me fade away
