I've been away, a little while
Sometimes I just can't help myself
When my mind's running wild
I seem to lose grip on reality
And I try to disregard the crazy things
The voices tell me to do, but it's no use
I tried to own it, write songs about it
Believe me I tried
In the end I needed to breathe
Find inspiration, some kind of purpose
To take a second to face the shit
That makes me, me

All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple years back and forth
With myself in a cage
Banging my head against the wall
Tryna put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room, alone in a room

I saw the world a couple times
Tried to cure the ache with absence
But that hole was still a hole
And my mind kept playing tricks on me
Feeling older every day
Took everything I had to not crash and burn
But I'm starting to learn
Sometimes I'll fall down
Sometimes I'll lose hope
But those days will be few
If I keep my feet on the ground
I might be lonely, but I ain't alone here
So I keep pushing the limits
of what makes me

All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple years back and forth
With myself in a cage
Banging my head against the wall
Tryna put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room, alone in a room

I can be better than I was
I can be better than I am

All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud
Every moment, every second, every trespass
Every awful thing, every broken dream
A couple years back and forth
With myself in a cage
Banging my head against the wall
Trying to put words on a page
All I needed was the last thing I wanted
To sit alone in a room, alone in a room
