i really raised your hopes
just to let you down
we came so close
now i can't bear to make you frown

i know that everyone makes mistakes
and sometimes it's okay to be wrong
but this is one that'll really break
everyone i love stringed along

it hurts to breathe
i'm crying then i'm laughing
and it's kinda funny
how my heart's cut in half
my mind all fucked up
and nothing's ever enough

what am i supposed to say
when i've hurt you in an awful way?
what am i supposed to do
when i'm just trying to please you?
what am i supposed to think
when my whole life could change in a blink?
what am i supposed to want
when confusion's all i've got?

i go out of my way so i don't disappoint anybody
but no matter what i do there will always be somebody
who gets hurt, but it's because they love me
it's crazy how i manage to fuck up everything

the past kinda twisted my feelings
so now i can't feel anything
but it's better than feeling everything
'cause i can't cope with that kind of pain

it hurts to wake up
i'm angry then i'm sad
and i'm never good enough
my hope is buried underground
missing, never to be found
and this cycle just goes around

what am i supposed to say
when i've hurt you in an awful way?
what am i supposed to do
when i'm just trying to please you?
what am i supposed to think
when my whole life could change in a blink?
what am i supposed to want
when confusion's all i've got?

i know that i'm responsible for me
for making me happy
but i can't help trying to protect everyone
i can't hurt anyone
messing up is just inevitable
i'm incapable of accepting my mistakes
i need it to be justified or just go away
'cause now what the hell am i supposed to say?

what am i supposed to say
when i can't take the pain away?
what am i supposed to do
when i just want the best for you?
what am i supposed to think
when your smile will disappear in a blink?
what am i supposed to want
when guilt and sorrow is all i've got?

i don't mean to hurt you
but i know i'm gonna
i'm not really used to
love, and i'm a goner
