The Place I Feel Safest

The secrets that we keep
 They don't do justice to our good deeds
 This feeling I can't shake, that I can't be heard
 Why does this darkness feel so familiar?
 ♪
 As I begin to breathe, I awake to a new direction
 This overwhelming sadness that won't leave
 "Stay strong, stand tall, I'm here for you"
 All words that fall short of healing the wounds
 This distant doom (Can you hear me, can you feel me?)
 There's nothing here for me, no greatness to achieve
 You can't get over it, just suppress
 Then count the days until the feeling comes back again
 I've got this feeling, this shortness of breathing
 I've got the courage but don't have the meaning
 I lose in love, I lose in life
 These walls built to protect me cause my disconnect
 I set the course; opening the same doors I have before
 I've pushed you so far away, I can't make up this space
 Looking in the same goddamn mirror every night
 I stare and wonder why I can't fight
 You're to be held, not to be missed
 You've shown the greatest love I've ever witnessed
 I hope you get the life you see in your dreams, even if it's not including me
 I've got this feeling, this shortness of breathing
 I've got the courage but don't have the meaning
 I lose in love, I lose in life
 These walls built to protect me cause my disconnect
 The secrets that we keep
 They don't do justice to our good deeds
 This feeling I can't shake, that I can't be heard
 Why does this darkness feel so familiar?
 I want it back, I miss the bond of our skin, I miss the touch of your hand
 I want it back, I want it back, and I want it bad
 I can't shake, I can't shake, I can't shake this
 Far away from the place I feel safest
 I'm reaching out as I watch you leave
 You're abandoning me, you're abandoning me
 I can't shake, I can't shake, I can't shake this
 Far away from the place I feel safest
 I'm reaching out as I watch you leave
 You're abandoning me, you're abandoning me
 You can't undo every word you've muttered out of turn
 You've been conditioned to hate, some things can't be unlearned
 Wrong; you're condemned and fit to be misled
 This can't be dead, this can't be dead
