Lyrics:
When I’m awake, sitting here alone wondering what to say
Who I was in the past seems like such a blur memories never last
But there are some as clear as day, sitting on the way to school home haircuts, headphones on listening to My Chem and Taking Back Sunday
Open scenery, old gum trees are now chopped down and replaced with little houses full of little people who don’t give a fuck about the dead roots that lie beneath.

To tell the truth I’m not okay
I’m still filled with a childhood shame
I may be grown up now
It doesn’t matter how
The scaffolding is falling around me now
And how can I stand?
I’m trying all I can
When will this feeling of regret and guilt seem to ever end?
I tried to run for years, still stuck here with these fears

No one to hold, a head full of words my little piece of gold
I tried to run ahead failing to resolve nightmares under the bed
It’s not how I feel, it’s not even what I say, it’s not even how I break
It’s my capacity to love and in return be
It’s such a hindrance to be so damaged
Push myself against the doorway, take a deep breath in and I’m shaking as I try to say

To tell the truth I’m not okay
I’m still filled with a childhood shame
I may be grown up now
It doesn’t matter how
The scaffolding is falling around me now
And how can I stand?
I’m trying all I can
When will this feeling of regret and guilt seem to ever end?
I tried to run for years, still stuck here with these fears

I was here two steps behind you I was skipping along to your heartbeat I was keeping it strong on the off beat don’t fear
I was here two steps behind you I was skipping along to your heartbeat I was keeping it strong on the off beat don’t fear

To tell the truth I’m not okay (I was here two steps behind you I was)
I’m still filled with a childhood shame (skipping along to your heartbeat I was keeping it strong on the off beat don’t fear)
I may be grown up now, It doesn’t matter how (I was here two steps behind you I was)
The scaffolding is falling around me now (skipping along to your heartbeat I was keeping it strong on the off beat don’t fear)
And how can I stand? I’m trying all I can (I was here two steps behind you I was)
When will this feeling of regret and guilt seem to ever end? (skipping along to your heartbeat I was keeping it strong to ever end )
I tried to run for years, still stuck here with these fears (I was here two steps behind you I was skipping along to your heartbeat I was keeping it strong on the off beat)
