I slipped away
further from you
trying to find what is real,
You’re somebody else
that I never knew,
and someone that I can’t feel.

I shut it away
I keep it in me.
Is this what it takes to keep me alive?
So you take me and you break me,
and you see I’m falling apart.
Complicate me and forsake me,
you push me out so far;
there’s no other feeling.

I slipped away
closer to me
the only thing that is real.
I’m falling behind
and now I can see
your absence helps me heal.

I shoved you away
I keep you for me.
Is this what it takes to keep me alive?
So you take me and you break me,
and you see I’m falling apart.
Complicate me and forsake me,
you push me out so far;
there’s no other feeling.

Spread, Spread out.

So you take me and you break me,
and you see I’m falling apart.
Complicate me and forsake me,
you push me out so far.
And you take me and you break me,
and you see I’m falling apart.
There’s no more felling.
