I've been away, a little while, sometimes I just can't help myself
When my mind's running wild, I seem to lose grip on reality
And I try to disregard the crazy things the voices tell me to do
But it's no use

I tried to own it, write songs about it
Believe me I tried, in the end I needed to breathe
Find inspiration, some kind of purpose
To take a second to face the shit that makes me, me

All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream

A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page

All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To be alone in a room, alone in a room

I saw the world a couple times, tried to cure the ache with absence
But that hole was still a hole and my mind kept playing tricks on me
Feeling older every day, took everything I had to not crash and burn
But I'm starting to learn

Sometimes I'll fall down, sometimes I'll lose hope
But those days will be few if I keep my feet on the ground
I might be lonely, but I ain't alone here
So I keep pushing the limits of what makes me, me

All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream

A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page

All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To be alone in a room, alone in a room

I can be better than I was
I can be better than I am

All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream

A couple years back and forth with myself in a cage
Banging my head against the wall tryna put words on a page

All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To be alone in a room, alone in a room
