We were made for each other
How we're hollow inside
I can't be what you want
But I can say what you like

I am just like my mother
I can't sleep through the night
Sharp white noise in my brain
And an itch to survive

And I feel the surrender, but I shadow the light
I inherit your pain, but I keep it inside
It's not my youth I remember
It's the thorn in my side
I swore I'd never be bitter
I live up to the lie

This is my confession
This is my confession

This is my confession
Never learning my lesson
Never learning my lesson

Who is this girl in the mirror
With no light in her eyes?
One day I might just forgive her
For her self-sacrifice

When we look at each other
I pretend that I'm fine
But I am filled to the gutter
And it eats me alive

I could be light as a feather
Delicate, laced in white
But there's no joy I can't smother
Purely out of spite

I've tried to recover
It just didn't feel right
It's easier when I suffer
Gives me reason to bite

This is my confession
Never learning my lesson
Never learning my lesson
Call it my obsession
Never learning my lesson
Never learning my lesson

Oh, oh
This is my confession
This is my confession
This is my confession
This is my confession
