lyrics
Shut You Out
Theres not much more that I can do
but hate myself when I think of you.
You are the reason i sleep by the door
and count the cracks on the wooden floor.
Can I keep living in the future, when you keep living in the past?
At times Its best to just let it die.
Should I keep you in
Or should I shut you out.
Cause I've been caving in.
And I can't figure out
If this is even me
Or what you want me to be
x2
Am I what you wanted me to be?
Am I what you wanted me to be?
Ive been here bed ridden
with nothing but blank books to relate to.
Topics of my younger thoughts.
Contemplating "was i right or wrong?"
Since you've been gone I've grown so much.
Do you even recognize me anymore?
I've grown a lot since I was four, right?
Cause I've been caving in.
And I can't figure out
If this is even me
Or what you wanted me to be
Am I what you wanted me to be?
Am I what you wanted me to be?
Am I what you wanted me to be? (From father and son to strangers)
Am I what you wanted me to be? (From father and son to strangers
Theres not much more that I can do
but hate myself when I think of you.
You are the reason i sleep by the door
and count the cracks on the wooden floor.
Can I keep living in the future, when you keep living in the past?
At times Its best to just let it die.
Should I keep you in
Or should I shut you out.
Cause I've been caving in.
And I can't figure out
If this is even me
Or what you want me to be
x2
Am I what you wanted me to be?
Am I what you wanted me to be?
Ive been here bed ridden
with nothing but blank books to relate to.

Or what you wanted me to be
Am I what you wanted me to be?

Am I what you wanted me to be? (From father and son to strangers)
