A lesson learned

I'm out of things to write
I'm out of things to say
What makes this not all right?
What makes it all okay?
Do I need to stop this ride?
Do I need to take a break?
I cant get through the night
it has to end today

 
You cant take all my thoughts and throw them all away,
leave me here to die and think that it's okay
you cant leave me out and shut me down each day
a lesson I've learned is that you will never change
(Chorus)

 
You cant suffocate me
by telling me maybe
you're marked by jealousy
the mark that we all see
but you will never be
the person you should be
you need to be set free
but it's not up to me

 
-Chorus-

 
You gave away another chance to see
to see how far I can run away
and I dont want you to have to worry
cause I dont feel like I have to explain
and I dont ever want you to see me
cause you've given your last chance away

 
-Chorus-(2x)
