Back Then

I've been trying harder to walk straight
And stay away from deep thoughts for both our sakes
All that's left is nothing left to say
Because this hit me like a

Tidal wave
There's not a chance in hell I'd make the same mistakes
You couldn't grit your teeth just for another day
You left me here alone
I was so young and afraid
(Young and afraid)

Yeah, I tried writing letters to myself
To get my darkest fears on surfaces less fragile than my chest
I wish the best but I'll admit
I lay awake in wonder
If you could read them now
What would you say

Say to me
There's not a chance in hell I'd make the same mistakes
You couldn't grit your teeth just for another day
You left me here alone
I was so young and afraid
(Young and afraid)

Patiently at the end of the rope I barely know
When life was split between the days that I can't sleep
At times it seems that's all I need
Well did you ever listen
If you could hear me now
I'd tell you

Stay away
I gave up a past that lead me to my own disease
It won't rip us apart like the

Tidal wave
There's not a chance in hell I'd make the same mistakes
You couldn't grit your teeth just for another day
You left me here alone
I was so young and afraid
(Young and afraid)
