[Intro: Brian Burkheiser and Eric Vanlerberghe]
You're the worst part of me
How did I let you in so deep?
[Verse 1: Brian Burkheiser]
You're the worst part of me
How did I let you in so deep?
Gotta dig you out of my skin
This is where it has to end
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Vanlerberghe]
I let you bury me alive for far too long
But I'm climbing back up to the surface, back to where I belong
[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser and Eric Vanlerberghe]
If we're being honest, you broke every little promise
That you made to me, I was too blind to see
I was so defenseless, now I'm coming to my senses
After all these years, it's finally crystal clear
[Verse 2: Brian Burkheiser and Eric Vanlerberghe]
You pulled me in with a warm embrace
To drag me down to the darkest place
I wanna feel just like myself again
But with these chains around my ankles, I can't get away
[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser and Eric Vanlerberghe]
If we're being honest, you broke every little promise
That you made to me, I was too blind to see
I was so defenseless, now I'm coming to my senses
After all these years, it's finally crystal clear
And you had control of me for far too long
Manipulated me, but now I'm gone
I was so defenseless, now I'm coming to my senses
After all these years, it's finally crystal clear
[Interlude: Brian Burkheiser]
After all these years, it's finally crystal clear
[Bridge: Eric Vanlerberghe]
I let you bury me alive for far too long
But I'm climbing back up to the surface, back to where I belong
And now it's clear that you're the worst part of me
How did I ever let you claw your way in so deep?
[Chorus: Brian Burkheiser and Eric Vanlerberghe]
If we're being honest, you broke every little promise
That you made to me, I was too blind to see
I was so defenseless, now I'm coming to my senses
After all these years, it's finally crystal clear
And you had control of me for far too long
Manipulated me, but now I'm gone
I was so defenseless, now I'm coming to my senses
After all these years, it's finally crystal clear
