[Solo] (x4) [Verse 2] You’re always saying you’re too weak to be strong You’re harder on yourself than just about anyone Why swim the channel just to get this far? Halfway there why would you turn around? Darkness comes in waves tell me why invite it to stay? You’re warm with negativity Yes comfort is an energy But why let the sad song play? [Chorus] I have faced it a life wasted I’m never going back again I escaped it a life wasted I’m never going back again Having tasted a life wasted I’m never going back again Oh I erased it a life wasted I’m never going back again [Outro] (same as intro until fade)
