Broken thrones

Stay.

Don't stay.

Don't remain the same,

But just for another day,

Don't let anything change,

So I can remember.

So I can pretend forever

Was ever an option.

Let me stay.

I can't stay.

It's such a shame.

I waited and I prayed,

Just to take the blame.

But just for tonight,

Let me pretend you made things right.

If that's OK with you?

The truth is I still want to fool my own heart. 

Rewind the tape than tear it apart.

Flashback myself into a different meaning.

But things will always keep moving forward.

No.

Nothing

Never becomes something. 

Never stays the same.

Doesn't turn to truth

And that's a shame.

That's not reality.

And that is not me.

No No No.

Nothing

Never is anything

More than what we're seeing. 

And I won't let myself

Play at pretending.

Cause that's not me.

And that's not reality.

The truth is I don't want to let things go.

But deep inside of me I know I know

That I can't break myself apart to kindle your flame.

I can't burn myself to keep things burning.

It's time for me

To see.

Let me see.

Truthfully.

That I'm still me.

Now matter what, I still have that.

Now matter how sad 

I feel.

Cause I rather be lonely walking down memory lane,

Than remember the person you wanted me to burn away.

It will be heartbreak but I will be ok.

It will be grief, but I will be me.

Cause I rather heal my wounds than keep them from scabbing over.

I rather cry my heart out over a time that is now over. 

And find myself climbing out of the ashes

Not having lost myself.
