pernilla

i can't help but close my eyes tonight

and dream a different ending

that when i wake i won't be so exhausted

and i will stop with my pretending

that i'm fine

i'm fine if i can fool myself tonight

and my lie will drown out all of yours

you will bleed for what your hands have done

you can't outrun your ending

and i'll get well long before you let yourself

i may forgive you

but you never will

i will not bend until i break

how much can one bruised body take?

just not enough to silence me

you're only a memory

i'll scream these words 'til they come true

then i will think no more of you

look back on what i'm going through

this isn't my identity

and i told you

i told you

you had no right

how damaged you must be

i watch you panic

it's tragic

you'll carry this for life

you have my sympathy

i will not bend until i break

how much can one bruised body take?

just not enough to silence me

you're only a memory

i'll scream these words as they come true

then i will think no more of you

look back on what i'm going through

this isn't my identity

you're only a memory

this isn't my identity

you're only a memory

this isn't my identity

you're only a memory

this isn't my identity

you're only a memory

this isn't my identity

you're only a memory

this isn't my identity

you're only a memory

this isn't my identity

you're only a memory
