The Answer Lyrics

(Verse 1)

She spins a tale of love so bittersweet that it stains my lips

I wonder how you got so lonely with a grace so poisonous

But she melts away in the light

I could never stay away,

But I could sure fucking try

I don't deserve this

I'm lost looking for purpose

No, I'm not worthless

I'm just looking for answers

You're not the answer

(Chorus)

This is not

What I want

I just keep running away from the pain

I swear, I swear, I'll never make it out of here

The answer stays the same

(Verse 2)

She's misery, but when she leaves I find I'm wondering

How many times have I tried?

Why can't I just get this right?

She slips away from me again

Force me away, force me to hide my heart

When I'd give anything to lie with you

(Chorus)

This is not

What I want

I just keep running away from the pain

I swear, I swear, I'll never make it out of here

The answer stays the same.

(Verse 3)

There's something growing inside me

My hearts not yours to break

I've let you go.

I found the answer was hiding inside me

Don't fucking judge me

I command respect

Who would've thought my life could fall right in front of me?

I watched you burn out of reality

You found me trivial

I found you a tragedy

The night you burned I found what's left of me

This is what's left of me

(Chorus)

What I want

I just keep running away from the pain

I swear, I swear, I'll never make it out of here

The answer stays the same.

I swear, I swear I'm just looking for answers, you're not the answer.

I swear, I swear I got the answer, you're not the answer.

It's not something I could wish upon myself.
