THE CLOSER Lyrics

Finally being free

From all of the chains of my past

However it didn't make me trapped

I just kept ahold of it for far too long

It kept me alive for a time

However it was the same thing that was killing me

Slowly, but surely

There was no saving me

Only listening to the sounds of crushing pain

Not only towards me

But towards individuals undeserving of hate that I felt towards myself

I apologize to those I have hurt

And I know there's no way to forgive the things I have done

If your opinion on me doesn't change

That is okay, I will understand

I won't defend myself, I will just accept it

And leave you alone

And this was kind of a love letter to myself

Telling him that this is all over now

There's no need to feel hate

Nor sadness

The past happened, and I'm sorry

But the more you hold on to it

The more it holds you back from the goal you've been working

So hard towards

Being happy

You are not what you were

You were a monster, no doubt

You were a liar, no doubt

A stubborn jackass, of course

But look at you now

You're helpful

You're caring

You're everything that you were scared to be

You're not your father

Be better

Stay safe

And have a good one

You're not better off alone

You're not better off alone

You're not better off alone

You're not better off alone

You're not better off alone

You're not better off alone
