Photographs of pasts I had no part of
Hard to not feel jealousy, when I wish they all were me
I had to be broken before I found who I could be
The old me is forever dead and buried
Said and done, I'm awakened by the setting sun
Moving on, I no longer wait from dusk til dawn
I never thought I'd be here, never thought that I would ever get this far along
I went back to find out who I was and who I wasn't meant to be
I saw that world with homesick eyes, and found the better parts of me
"I'll call you when the storm is over", she said
That false hope in me is dead, now you're outside of my head
Made to believe that everything is wrong with you
Well, I've got news for you
There's nothing wrong with you
Couldn't care less about the roots I've never grow
Couldn't care less about the roots I'll never know
I remember back in the day, hid my emotions kept them off display
Bottled them up, and swore I'd make it out of here someday
I've always lived my life feeling like my back's against the wall
And I always swore to just ignore it, but I'm not running anymore
You've hit rock bottom embrace it, escape it, take it to your grave
You've hit rock bottom embrace it, escape it, don't let the past destroy you
Twenty four years in the making I'm finally free
I'm not lost in the ocean, I'm not lost at sea
You find something new when you lose something old
Now I let all the cards land and watch them unfold
Twenty four years in the making I'm finally free
I'm not lost in the ocean, I'm not lost at sea
And I found something new when I lost something old
I'll let them fall as they will
You will never understand what you think I have been through
Don't act like I've never known how it feels to be outgrown
You will never understand what you think I have been through
Don't act like I've never known how it feels to be outgrown
Photographs of pasts I had no part of
Hard to not feel jealousy, when I wish they were me
I had to be broken before I found what I could be
The old me is forever dead and buried
I feel no pain, and I wish one day you will feel the same
