[Verse 1]
This time
I'm done with always screwing up
I'm sick of one direction down
I'm a broken picture frame
My whole world twisted inside out
Screaming voices like a hurricane
Telling me to wake up, get out of bed
Put your feet on the floor
There's fresh air out the door
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've been acting so pathetic
Knocking around like a ball of string
It's taking time for me to get it
I'm ready and willing to do anything
To make it up to you
[Chorus 1]
My arms are hurting so bad from being so empty
My heart weighs like a ton 'cause it feels so heavy
I'm standing here all alone, wishing that I could've known
You just can't walk away from the damage
[Verse 2]
Last time
I'm playing with a broken string
It don't matter, no one's listening
'Cause losing you has made me see
I've gotta change, gotta blame it all on me
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've been acting so pathetic
Knocking around like a ball of string
It's taking time for me to get it
I'm ready and willing to do anything
To make it up to you
[Chorus 1]
My arms are hurting so bad from being so empty (So empty)
My heart weighs like a ton 'cause it feels so heavy (Yeah)
I'm standing here all alone, wishing that I could've known
You just can't walk away from the damage (Damage)
[Chorus 2]
My eyes may as well be blind if I just can't see you
(If I just can't see you)
My hands may as well be tied 'cause I just can't touch you
(Touch you)
[Bridge]
Before the smoke can really clear away
From fires I started yesterday
I know I've gotta find a way
Somehow I've gotta find a way to wake up
From the damage
[Chorus 1]
My arms are hurting so bad from being so empty (So empty)
My heart weighs like a ton 'cause it feels so heavy
I'm standing here all alone, wishing that I could've known
You just can't walk away from the damage (Damage)
[Chorus 2]
My eyes may as well be blind if I just can't see you
(If I just can't see you)
My hands may as well be tied 'cause I just can't touch you
(Touch you)
[Chorus 1]
I'm standing here all alone
Wishing that I could've known
You just can't walk away from the damage
[Outro]
I'm standing here all alone
Wishing that I could've known
You just can't walk away from the damage
