You Don't Need My Advice Lyrics

Trying to find a different way to say

How much this is weighing on my mind

A weight I'm feeling every day

With so many answers yet to find

And it's a kind of weight

I can't remove on my own

And I could use your help

But you're busy and want to be

Left alone

So I'll just play solitaire

With the cards I've been dealt

And the welts to my heart

Don't seem to subside

They seem to grow stronger

With every passing night

It doesn't feel right

You let him grip you so tight

But I guess this is what you wanted

You don't

You don't need my advice

You're not a child

You can make decisions on your own

I will never forgive myself

Because I should have known

That you

Weren't happy

There was something that

You needed

You should have beat me in the head

And it should have been repeated

And repeated and repeated

And repeated and repeated

Until it made me sick

That if I didn't change my ways

That I was gonna lose you quick

And that

You were talking to someone

Who talked himself so slick

You told me not to worry

But I think he's playing tricks

On you

He clearly doesn't respect you

Or trust you at all

He thinks that I am there

Every time that he calls

He's haunted by my spirit

Living inside your walls

I know that he's secretly

Waiting for me to fall

There's nothing

That would make him happier

Than for me to disappear

For me to be a blur

In your rear view mirror

If I'm gone or die

He's got nothing to fear

If I'm gone or if I die

You're in the free and clear

And I deserve it for

What I did to you years ago

By making the mistake

Of letting you go

And I didn't know that I

Would reach a plateau

And come crashing back to earth

And end up so below

But I know there's ill will

Coming from his end

It's naive to think otherwise we

Don't got to pretend

He made his intentions clear

As soon as he hit send

It's easy to be an ass

It's easy to be an ass

When you got money to spend

I wish this didn't keep going around

Every decision I'm making

Is leading me sorrow bound

The sound of my cries

Has become a familiar sound

Someone definitely wanted me

Off my cloud

And it's become too loud

For me to stand it

I know nothing ever goes the way

That you planned it

No matter how much I want it

I'm not one to demand it

I never thought

I never thought that we'd ever

Have to disband it

Only expand it

I thought that we were going places

If you could see my thoughts

You would see our faces

I thought that our book

Had many more empty pages

And in my heart

There will always be your traces

And now the laces of my shoes

Is all that I can see

I can't look into the mirror

I just want to flee

I want you standing next me

I thought that was guaranteed

At least that's how I saw it

Let's agree to disagree

And I take responsibility

For my lack of action

Didn't hear what your were asking

And now

You're passing

Me by and I know why

Your dissatisfaction

You can erase me now

I won't be a distraction

And this attraction to you I have

Well it just won't go away

Everything in my heart

Is telling me to stay

There's so many things

That I wish that I could convey

I wish that I could say

That I was truly okay

But it weighs on me, stays on me

It eats at and preys upon me

The eternal display

Of dismay is on me

The whole world

Filled with disarray upon me

My whole heart

About to decay on me

I'm fucking miserable

And I'm tired of pretending

That I'm not

I'm tired of being consumed

By the most minute of thoughts

I feel like you loved me the most

When your hair was blonde

There's a constant weakness

And I just want it all to stop

I wish I could turn the clock back

To 2009

You weren't mine then but

It was a better time

It's kinda silly

But I feel like I was in my prime then

I was depressed

I was depressed

But the whole world

Had a different kind of shine then

I was drinking wine then

But it's not something I miss

But if I went back

I think about

Everything I could have fixed

But I know that idea is so far fetched

It's just a myth

But I think that myth

Is far better than whatever this is

This fear of the end of the world

Enveloped in fire

A time when everything

Is feeling so relentlessly dire

A seat at the end of the world

With you is what I desire

See that flash

And I grip your hand tighter
