[Verse 1]
Why do I breathe with what's beating in my chest?
You think I'd learn better now cause I can't get any rest
Cause I keep trying to find happiness in everybody else

[Verse 2]
And please move that finger that's been pointing to my mistakes
I want no part in the feelings your words make
So let go let me love you today

[Chorus]
And you're so damn difficult
You'd lose a heart in your hand
And I can't believe you made me work for it
No one understands why I don't run as fast as I can

[Verse 3]
And I can feel everything, I can feel your emptiness
And I don't believe there's a way out of this mess
Unless I can forgive all your sins, I won't learn
I'll never love again
Again

[Bridge]
See right through my wounds
See I'm just like you
Watch me stumble, watch me choose
All your lies
All your lies
All your lies

[Chorus]
You're so damn difficult you'd lose a heart in your hand
And I can't believe you made me work for it
No one understands why I don't run as fast as I can
