Through It All

From Ashes to New

There’s not a day that passes by
The pain has not amassed inside
It’s breaking me down to the ground
It’s like I crashed and died
It’s hard to leave your past behind
Especially when you’re last in line
And half the time it acts like vines
And wraps inside my fragile mind
Hiding in plain view it seems
The same old shit I choose between
Taking who I used to be
And keep it subdued beneath
Close to dead and losing me 
You took a chance and you believed
So did I, I let you lead
And grabbed the line you threw to me

You saved me, you made me
And through it all you changed me forever
You love me, you hate me
And through it all you changed me forever

You’ve given me a chance to change
Helped me in ways I can’t explain
I’ll never understand the way
You took my hand with no dismay
Now I’m who I am today
And that’s the man I plan to stay
But can’t escape, I can’t evade
You stranded me and ran away
Why’d you do it why’d you leave
Why’d you help me find my feet
Why’d you guide me blindingly 
Then turn and say goodbye to me
All this time I tried to be 
The person you applied to me
This lie you feed that I’d succeed
Is why I’m me, a dying breed

You saved me, you made me
And through it all you changed me forever
You love me, you hate me
And through it all you changed me forever

Through it all you changed me
I’m not the same me
For better or for worse this person that you made me
Through it all you changed me
I’m not the same me
For better or for worse you changed me forever

It’s killing me down deep within
It makes me strain to breath again
All this pain I keep it in
If it’s the end where’d we begin
It’s so hard to comprehend 
Where we are is where we end
Let’s make believe let’s just pretend
You don’t hate me and want me dead
What you said stays in my head
An unrelenting discontent
It torments me to no extent 
Entrenches me just like cement
It makes no sense what your intent
Bled for me then fled instead
You never meant to be content
Fuck the words let’s just be friends

You saved me, you made me
And through it all you changed me forever
You love me, you hate me
And through it all you changed me forever

Through it all you changed me
I’m not the same me
For better or for worse this person that you made me
Through it all you changed me
I’m not the same me
For better or for worse you changed me forever

Whoa...

Through it all you changed me
I’m not the same me
For better or for worse this person that you made me
Through it all you changed me
I’m not the same me
For better or for worse you changed me forever
