The Person I Can’t Be Lyrics by Royal Oaks

No Longer There

0

I'm biting holes through my lips again
While I try to come to grips
With all of this
I'm sick
I guess you were contagious
Rooted your cold
Now I'm so indifferent
Gotta run when love turns its eye on me
Gotta stall and find a reason not to sleep
Gotta pretend I'm still listening
When she's telling me her stories
And I wish that I could feel sorry
When she's telling me her stories
I wish that I could feel something
I know you want the person I can't be
It's a god damn mess inside my head
These fake smiles come so easily now
& I can hardly recognize my own skin
I know you want the person I can't be
I'm fighting the thoughts inside my head
Everybody lies so seamlessly
But I'm still hung up on who I have been
I'm biting holes through my lips again
While I try to come to grips
With all of this
I'm sick
I guess you were contagious
Rooted your cold
Now I'm so indifferent
Gotta run when love turns its eye on me
Gotta stall and find a reason not to sleep
Gotta pretend I'm still listening
When she's telling me her stories
And I wish that I could feel sorry
When she's telling me her stories
I wish that I could feel something
I've been laying beside you for too long
There's emptiness where there should be intimacy
You only see what you want to see
We're only prolonging our history
