The Same Thing

Album: A Lifetime Burning

Open your eyes
Youve been left
Open your heart
Cause you know best

Pull close the ones that leave you alone
Welcome home

Write down those words you wanted to hear
Compliments yea the messages is coming clear
Spend my days contemplating
Kill to buy you a ring
Aint love a funny thing?

I knew there was something wrong
I was just too scared to say it
I knew one day youd finally see
The monster was me

Cause I was so busy sayin that I was better
Youre falling apart and I was barely together
Breaking up your past, did you feel ashamed?
Well I was doing the same things
My whole life you said I wouldnt forget it
And God damn right you know I still dont regret it
Breaking up your past, did you feel ashamed?
Well I was doin the same things

Spending nights telling lies to anyone who believes
Spending days writing plays for your drama king
Pull them close so they all feel sorry for you (For you)

Are you sick of all those things they thought you should be
What you want, what you hope, what you think you need
Its what I give, its what I got, thats what I kept for me
Aint hurt a funny thing?

I knew there was something wrong
I was just too scared to say it
I knew one day youd finally see
The monster was me

Cause I was so busy sayin that I was better
Youre falling apart and I was barely together
Breaking up your past, did you feel ashamed?
Well I was doing the same things
My whole life you said I wouldnt forget it
And God damn right you know I still dont regret it
Breaking up your past, did you feel ashamed?
Well I was doin the same things

So hard to be right when everything you do is wrong
Singing out its getting harder to breathe
Starting over when you thought that you were done (Im done)
Selling out so that you know it all feels the same
When theres no one left theres just you to blame
Give me a sign, piece of mind, a glimmer of truth
Ill shut it down with just a moment left cause

Cause I was so busy sayin that I was better
Youre falling apart and I was barely together
Breaking up your past, did you feel ashamed?
Well I was doing the same things
My whole life you said I wouldnt forget it
And God damn right you know I still dont regret it
Breaking up your past, did you feel ashamed?
Well I was doin the same things

So hard to be right when everything you do is wrong
(Well I was doin the same things)
Selling out so that you know it all feels the same
(Well I was doin the same thing.)

My whole life you said I wouldnt forget it
And God damn right you know I still dont regret it
Breaking up your past, did you feel ashamed?
Well I was doin the same things
