[Verse 1]
I surround myself with distractions
But I can’t get you off my mind
These dark clouds hang over me
Showing you when I close my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Felt like I was failing, holding you back
But I hate all of the choices I made
My mind was imploding from our past
And I knew I wouldn’t make it another day
[Chorus]
Tell me why did we have to end?
Just to find myself again
Yet the happier I seem to get
The further I get into regrets den
As i am chained and bound
In the perverse effect
[Verse 2]
We keep running in circles
Just the same stuff, different week
But as soon as I let you go
The complacency becomes what I need
[Pre-Chorus]
I cry and cry, and no one sees
Then I hate myself cause this isn’t me
All I wanted was to find my peace
But all I get is insanity!
[Chorus]
Tell me why did we have to end?
Just to find myself again
Yes the Happier I seem to get
The further I get into regret’s den
As I am chained and bound
In the perverse effect
[Bridge]
There’s now this wall of our wants and needs
That divides our hearts, makes us weak
Hindering our ability to be on the same side
Which drives the nail into the coffin of our lives
[Breakdown]
[Chorus]
Tell me why did we have to come to an end
just for us to finally be happy again
Yet the happier Weve been trying to get
The harder, the stronger, darker regret
Of all the memories that could have been
[Outro]
I hate myself as I feel this guilt
But I hated the life we were trying to build
Like We knitted our lives with frayed thread
The more we stitched the more frayed it seemed to get
I sit here needing you all the time
But I hate how I made your life
You deserve someone who’s love isn’t dead
I’m just caught in the perverse effect
