IT ISN'T ME


no, don't you say you love me
when you don't love me
you only wanted me to be there when you fall
now everything is changing
but you're not changing
then say you'll blame me if i change at all
but i'm the same
i'm the same
it's just circumstances
they always spin around as far as i recall
and then if we're not taking all our chances
one day regret will come and surely kill us all

and when i try to work it out
just what this whole damn thing's about
you say we're running to be free
but it isn't me
it isn't me
it isn't
me

we all have hearts for someone
we all have no one
we all have everything conceivable between
bold ideas of sorrow
pain and redemption
where is the love i need to keep me off my knees?
where is escape?
where is escape?
where is the final battle fought upon for my soul to see?
where all the ways to break me
they give up on me
and all the ways to live
they come to rescue me

and when i try to work it out
just what this whole damn thing's about
you say we're running to be free
but it isn't me
it isn't me
it isn't
me

and after all this time i thought
'well i can't go on just keeping saying nothing'
i'll scream until these lungs are raw
if it means that i at least stood up for something
you won't kill me with those words you say
and i will never change in my direction
because maybe it's just all a game
and i will never fall at your suggestion
until it all
until it all
falls away...
