Hollow Front - Lost Boy lyrics

I gave you everything And you threw it all away As if I meant nothing You're the cancer beneath my skin I swear that I'll never let you win It just goes to show Up is the only direction left to go I've lost my mind Trying to find a moment in time A place where I can reconnect When I'm no longer held against my will Shackled to these memories I have of you I've lost my f**ing mind Searching for the reasons why I wasn't good enough How could I be so blind? After all the f**ing sh** you put me through And now I'm six feet underground And I'm starting to drown Beneath the weight of every mistake that I've ever made Struggling to pick up pieces As I claw my way back to the surface Will I ever be myself again? So f**ing tell me Will I ever feel that safe again? I gave you everything And you threw it all away As if I meant nothing Was I just another trophy on your shelf? You're the cancer beneath my skin I swear that I'll never let you win It just goes to show Up is the only direction left to go You only have one life to live So make it count There's always room for second chances Just gotta learn to pick yourself back up This is the path that I've chosen And I refuse to be one of the broken A generation of damaged souls We are the lost We are the broke and unsettled Hide behind the words you won't say to me Try and erase memories I can't escape The reason for all my hate? Forgiveness is for the weak A plague planted within my mind The feeling hollows me But I'll sleep soundly at night Knowing karma will be bittersweet We are lost And I don't ever think we'll be found And now I know how it feels To be so close to the edge I'm afraid that I'm never coming back Unless I can learn to forgive But I can never forget I tried to forgive you I swear I've tried But I've got nothing left inside to give I gave you everything And you threw it all away As if I meant nothing Was I just another trophy on your shelf? You're the cancer beneath my skin I swear that I'll never let you win It just goes to show Up is the only direction left to go I've lost my mind I feel the hate inside It's growing deeper everyday The last piece of me dies You watch it fall and rot away
