I've been away, a little while Sometimes I just can't help myself When my mind's runnin' wild, I seem to lose grip on reality An' I try to disregard the crazy things the voices tell me to do But it's no use I tried to own it, write songs about it Believe me, I've tried, in the end, I needed to breathe Find inspiration, some kind of purpose To take a second to face the sh*t that makes me, me All I needed was the last thing I wanted To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud Every moment, every second, every trespass Every awful thing, every broken dream A couple o' years back and forth with myself in a cage Banging my head 'gainst the wall, tryna put words on a page All I needed was the last thing I wanted To be alone in a room, alone in a room I saw the world a couple of times, tried to cure the ache with absence But that hole was still a hole an' My mind kept playin' tricks on me Feelin' older every day Took everythin' I had to not crash an' burn But I'm startin' to learn Sometimes I'll fall down, sometimes I'll lose hope But those days will be few if I keep my feet on the ground I might be lonely, but I ain't alone here So I keep pushin' the limits of what makes me, me All I needed was the last thing I wanted To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud Every moment, every second, every trespass Every awful thing, every broken dream A couple o' years back and forth with myself in a cage Banging my head 'gainst the wall, tryna put words on a page All I needed was the last thing I wanted To be alone in a room, alone in a room (Lonely…) I can be better than I was I can be better than I am All I needed was the last thing I wanted To sit alone in a room All I needed was the last thing I wanted To sit alone in a room and say it all out loud Every moment, every second, every trespass Every awful thing, every broken dream A couple o' years back and forth with myself in a cage Banging my head 'gainst the wall, tryna put words on a page All I needed was the last thing I wanted To be alone in a room, alone in a room
This really is the best version you can feel it in his voice this year has been hell for me my grandfather died in january i was alone & he died in front of me than in march i found out my girlfriend has been cheating on me for years & in april my dad died of cancer & in may i went into a mental hospital for almost the entire month than in june my ex moved to pittsburgh & she doesnt bother with me anymore nothing has happened this month but im still waiting for something to happen this song describes me perfectly
I have a deep inner force inside me that if i even try to speak.or write will not be pg 13 finally about a decade ago i.know what goes in the dark. I cant say anything else
2 years ago, my wife died of cancer in my arms. After being cheated on by everyone I ever dated and having this happen.... well this song helped. It was true for me. Last year my dad died. Last week my mom died. I've returned to this song... while alone in my room.
