(I need you now more than ever
but I know it's not what's best for me)
You're overrated, I would say
You were not what I thought you would be in the end
I know that I am better than that
and you are better than this
I know my heart will not lie to me anymore
now where do you stand

This cancer will no longer be apart of who I am
And when it all caves in, they will see
The blood of the innocent trickling, yeah!
One day you will pay for the sins you commit
You fucking traitor, you were meant to spit your shit
Day after day, as I bend and break to reclaim

All the progress we've made
You hang your head in shame
Oh I look to you now
To the sky up above
For all my hopes and dreams but
Now my time is running out

(Now I will not be the one that you run to)
(I need you now more than ever
but I know it's not what's best for me)
You're overrated, I would say
You were not what I thought you would be in the end
I know that I am better than that
and you are better than this
I know my heart will not lie to me anymore
now where do you stand

And in the end, I will stand at the edge of the earth
And watch you fall to your knees
(I won't let this consume me)
You've made your bed
And now you lay with the wicked and the dead
(I won't let this consume me)
I won't let this consume me

Stand and face me
And watch the ground break beneath your feet
Stand and face me
You'll feel what I feel, you'll see what I see

I remember all the thoughts of who I oughta be
I remember all my prayers, my hopes and dreams
Now it's all laying right down in front of me
Shining brightly at my feet for all to see
One way mirror, people be judging
Expected to be compared to the world, that ain't nothin'
All they really wanna see is to watch me try to be
Something that I wanna be
This feeling deep inside is killing me

(Now I will not be the one that you run to)
(I need you now more than ever
but I know it's not what's best for me)
You're overrated, I would say
You were not what I thought you would be in the end
I know that I am better than that
and you are better than this
I know my heart will not lie to me anymore
now where do you stand

Where do you stand, where do you stand?
When your life's in the wrong hands
Filthy guilty, you bow down to your pride
You turn your back on the ones that gave you life
And now you're too weak to fight
You turn your back on the ones that gave you life
And now you're too weak to fight

I need you to, I need you to
Tear away from the seams
Look inside yourself now
And see that you are better off
Without what you thought that you needed
When it falls apart, pick up the pieces along the way
Until you know that you've built yourself
the way that you should be
It goes on and on and yes I have been here
with you all along
But this choice is yours to be made
So make it now
