Castaway - As I Am lyrics

As if it wasn't enough to leave me picking my teeth from the concrete, it wasn't fair for you to tell me stand up straight just to kick my feet out from under me Heavy lies the crown you wear for something you claim that isn't there. Take all your will and build up walls so no one can ever prove you wrong. When I finally saw you out, you told me that my mind's misplaced. Well I'm not some fool who's gonna wait for you while you run your mouth in circles around me And all of my slip-up's, did they fall in line? Did I leave as you predicted I would? Did all the dates align? Now I've done everything I can to escape the tangle of your life, maybe that's what's got me driving all alone at night. Every promise you broke, the sound of your voice in my ears, drowned out in the hum of the streetlights As I am, why couldn't you leave me as I am? You bend me backwards until I break just because you can I can't believe I fell underneath your spell and all I could do was keep my eyes down to my feet. Blinded by the flaws you made me think were my own with hopes so high that I couldn't breathe. But at least I can say I disposed of you before you took too much from me. I hope it f**ing haunts you from across the country Leave, just leave. Just leave me as I am I hope you can hear every word from across the coast, I hope you can hear this song. I'll scream it at the top of my lungs to the whole wide world just to prove you wrong
