Are you as happy as you say you are? Pretending is easy but I can't even get that far. Is it really wise for you to wear that smile, You know how this works, You'll throw the stick and I'll run the mile. What's the use in saying you're just fine? When we both know that you're dying inside. I was close to completing you, But I could never do quite enough. Are you as happy as you say you are? Pretending is easy but I can't even get that far. Let's get this straight, Bypass the hate, I don't want to know. I don't think it's wise for you to read this line: "Fuck you, fuck him, fuck everything you did with our time." Does that smile he wears, Does it ever compare to the one I left in your bed upstairs? I’m not as happy as I look sometimes, I guess you're better off with him and that's just fine.

Well I thought that the pressure would get to you, And I thought I could measure the distance I am from you, But you tainted the cracks on the pavement. Being alone is safer. And I think that with time I could face her, But don't think I wouldn't dare. Was it me or depression that broke you down? Cause' I get the impression that it was me somehow, And I fell to the pressure and I'm breaking down, But I would never question you. What's with the bad behaviour? I thought being alone was safer, And I thought that with time I could change her. Don't think I never cared. What's with the bad behaviour? I failed but maybe you can change her.

Anaesthetic 03:25
If I died tomorrow, Nobody could ever say that my life was hollow, But I don’t know which way to go. I've grown so fond of my own home, I'll take the risk and pay the toll, And hopefully you'll let this go. (Hopefully you'll let this go) When I break away from you, You'll find me admiring the view, Seeing how the others live, Now I'm catching up on what I've missed, But if I was you I wouldn't miss me. I wish I could borrow more time to explain myself, I'm drowning in sorrow, I still don't know which way to go. I dream of faces I don't know, It reminds me I don't know my own. I bet you thought I'd let this go. You're anaesthetic there’s no feeling, Just four walls without a ceiling, You're apathetic I'm still healing, Apologetic has lost all meaning. You're anaesthetic there's no feeling, Numb to the bone there's no use screaming, I've had enough so just release me. Tell me I'm pathetic but you're anaesthetic. (Would you feel it anyway?) You didn't need me anyway.

Its 2am, We're sitting on my bench again, With a cigarette, Talking about how we've just met. Does the magnet in your heart, Feel any kind of push or pull, Cause' the way you're stood tells me you're not likely to miss me. But I don't wanna feel like the distance plays a part in why I can't be happy. Are you feeling withdrawn? I don't want to know what you've been up to, Cause' whatever it is, I wish that I had done it too. Are you feeling lost? You don't want to know what I've been up to, Everywhere that I lay, I wish that I was next to you. Now it's 6pm, And I'm feeling like I've lost the bet with an empty head, On whether or not I had caused an upset. Does the devil on your left put your mind to any sort of rest? Cause' the one on mine tells me you're not likely to miss me. But I don't wanna feel like the distance plays a part in why I can't be happy. At least you were mine. I hope you'll be fine.
