[00:14.73] Girl, I hope you understand I

[00:17.38] Wanted to hold your hand, but I can't

[00:19.52] Wanted to be your man back then

[00:23.75] And you knew I fell for you, but you

[00:26.68] Just broke my heart in two

[00:28.27] I was sad, mad, and broken on my bed

[00:30.93] Hoping I get rid of all the voices in my head

[00:33.05] I was opening a packet of an undeveloped med

[00:35.44] When I was met with a prescription of a bullet made of lead

[00:37.57] And when I woke up in an hour in a pool of my own sweat

[00:39.96] I said, "I swear to God I'll never even try to sleep again"

[00:42.35] So instead I took my pen and started writing evidence

[00:44.48] And when I started making sense, I found that I had reached the end

[00:46.88] Oh, I'm upset, I have no friends, you wanna bet, you're just pretend?

[00:49.26] You're just a pet confined within the lines of writing, you're not -

[00:51.65] I thought I stopped my psychopathic ways, I swear I did

[00:55.63] I said I talked to people 'bout the problematic life I lived

[01:00.41] They were my neighbors; razor blades and different flavored pills I hid

[01:04.93] Therefore, I'm at surely my last straw

[01:07.58] I'm so gassed, stuck in the past, I said that

[01:10.51] Girl, I hope you understand I

[01:13.16] Wanted to hold your hand, but I can't

[01:15.56] Wanted to be your man back then

[01:19.80] And so far I never held you with my arms

[01:22.47] So it's hard to be the one you aren't with

[01:24.59] Instead, filled with anxiety

[01:26.71] Always was a part of me, guess I'm not cut out to be

[01:29.10] Somebody 'cause it's not me, I'm not used to all the talking

[01:31.23] Was an introvert that had converted feelings into writing

[01:33.61] Used to cope with all my problems using notes and lots of rhyming

[01:36.01] Used to hope for better days whenever nights would have me crying

[01:38.40] I'm not lying when I say that I would rather die than go back

[01:40.52] To the times that I would try and be the guy the people know as

[01:42.91] Always fighting with the demons hiding far behind my eyelids

[01:45.30] On an island full of violence, in my head I had two pilots

[01:47.69] Oh, the sun don't shine, the skies turn gray

[01:50.62] I feel it coursing through my veins

[01:53.28] I said before I'm not okay

[01:56.20] But you don't listen anyway

[01:57.79] You know I tried, you turned away

[01:59.92] Straight out lied right to my face

[02:01.80] You - my life, ruined my day

[02:04.21] But you don't know, so I'll say

[02:06.86] Nothing can fill this silence

[02:09.25] No one can love like I did (you don't know, so I'll say)

[02:11.38] Nobody cares, you lied, it's

[02:13.77] Not fair, you still deny it (so I'll say)

[02:16.16] Nothing can fill this silence

[02:18.55] No one can love like I did (you don't know, so I'll say)

[02:20.95] Nobody cares, you lied, it's

[02:23.07] Not fair, you still deny it (so I'll say)

[02:25.19] Girl, I hope you understand I

[02:27.85] Wanted to hold your hand, but I can't

[02:30.24] Wanted to be your man back then

[02:32.64] And too bad I know I can't wake up

[02:36.62] Because I've lost my weight, and you don't give a - about me

[02:40.07] This could be a dream, I can't see the things that you see, so please, oh

[02:43.80] Girl, I hope you understand I

[02:46.45] Wanted to hold your hand, but I can't

[02:48.83] Wanted to be your man back then

[02:52.82] And you had known and played along, you

[02:55.74] Were my home, I wrote you songs

[02:57.61] Now you're dead to me, effectively

[03:00.00] Removed yourself outside my dreams
