lyrics

you're still here like a phantom limb
the space in the hourglass is looking grim
I've pushed and I've pushed
but I can't shut the door
I'm not sure that I want to anymore

pushing away makes me forget
enough time has passed that I forget why I had to
and closing the door is the most dangerous game
that anyone can play
that I love to play

keep trying to tell myself that I can change
but I know, I know, I know,
I've always been this way

no matter how many times my mind will always stray
I know I know I know
I've always been this way
I've always been this way

you're still here like a phantom limb
an itch I can't scratch
because I'll tear up my skin
I know one is too much
but I'm always tempted by
the simple idea
that this time might be different

pushing away makes me forget
enough time has passed that I forget why I had to
and closing the door is the most dangerous game
that anyone can play
that I loveto play

keep trying to tell myself that I can change
but I know, I know, I know
I've always been this way
no matter how many times my mind will always stray

I know I know I know I've always been this way
I've always been this way
