Another one for the list...

Seems I need this now more than ever
Can't remember the last time I felt so alive
I need that feeling back
I tear this photograph apart
Because I know I'm so much healthier alone
But it's not getting any easier
I'm staring at the phone

It's better when no one knows,
And the scar from the lie still shows.

So take this picture that I've drawn
Another face for you to try on
Of the time I fell asleep in your arms
[Wake up with hands around my neck]
When my happy ending depends upon pretending,
Burn it down!
I want to let this go; this is my memento.

And any time you want to let me know that you're not happy,
I'd rather know than have you hate me
'Cause you're not the only one whose voice is raw from screaming
All the noise that we don't need,
Salt in the wound may stop the bleeding

It's better if no one knows,
and the scar from the lie still shows.

So take this picture that I've drawn
Another face for you to try on
Of the time I fell asleep in your arms
[Wake up with hands around my neck]
When my happy ending depends upon pretending,
Burn it down!
I want to let this go, but this is my memento.
This is my memento.

And all we know is that things aren't getting better
So we both hide out as we weather out this storm
Until we both find hope, we will make each other suffer
So we go our seperate ways and hope our paths will cross.

And all we know is that things aren't getting better
So we both hide out as we weather out this storm
Until we both find hope, we will make each other suffer
So we go our seperate ways and hope our paths will cross.

Take this picture that I've drawn,

Of the time I fell asleep in your arms.
[Wake up with hands around my neck!]
When my happy ending depends upon pretending,
Burn it down!
I want to let this go, but this is my memento.

When my happy ending depends upon pretending, [This is my memento]
Burn it down!
I want to let this go, but this is my memento.
