We all regret the things we've said
But the damage was already done
I'm a product of my mistakes
But I never meant to be the source of your pain

Plant your seeds then tear out your roots
You can't bloom while you're on your own
I'll distance myself and admit defeat
You're not who I thought you'd be

I kept up, you slowed down
Changing pace just to wear me out

It's overwhelming, so disappointing
The thoughts I've kept to myself in the hopes that
I wouldn't end up depending on someone or something else
It's underwhelming, demotivating
The lies that you tell yourself in the hopes that
You wouldn't end up depending on someone or something else

I kept up, you slowed down
Changing pace just to wear me out

It's overwhelming, so disappointing
The thoughts I've kept to myself in the hopes that
I wouldn't end up depending on someone or something else
It's underwhelming, demotivating
The lies that you tell yourself in the hopes that
You wouldn't end up depending on someone or something else

I kept up, you slowed down
Changing pace just to wear me out
I held on, so don't drown
Forget how to swim just to keep me around
