i know i am a tarnished piece of metal

that’ll only turn your hands green

you don’t know what you’re really getting into

all you know is it’s because of me.


i tend to be a little bit more brave these days

i think i learned that from her

someone who i don't really talk to

someone who didn't really know my worth


define the periods of time in my life

rewind and i find our intertwined lives

i don't know when it happened 

i see you with my own eyes

upon, around, and upside down

i search for my own piece of mind

i watch own intertwined lives

unraveling

slowly unraveling


same places we used to go

different people, different memories

i delete every picture i see

forget you reminded me


open books, dirty looks, smaller faces

childhood, i knew you would one day

choose to forget me

lose meaning by the time i’m unraveling

 

define the periods of time in my life

rewind and i find our intertwined lives

i don't know when it happened 

i see you with my own eyes

upon, around, and upside down

i search for my own piece of mind

i watch own intertwined lives

unraveling

slowly unraveling


break it up, break it now

twist the words and don't care how they come out

stop the clock, make sure were through

pretend i have something against you

aggravate yourself again

because no one “makes any effort” to be your friend


define the periods of time in my life

rewind and i find our intertwined lives

i don't know when it happened 

i see you with my own eyes

upon, around, and upside down

i search for my own piece of mind

i watch own intertwined lives

unraveling

slowly unraveling
