[Verse 1]
I feel nothing for your apologies
Break down open doors - such a foolish thing
Holding myself back, keep from losing what I lack
Keep my heart in the abstract, keep having panic attacks
The medicine got me coping for your hope when I'm alone
Let us in, I won't bother making this my only home
I will find the light of life

[Chorus]
I tried to let you in but it was counterfeit
A false pretense is telling me I can't commit
I keep putting myself last, I'm sick of it
But I'm a piece of puzzle, and I don't know where I fit

[Verse 2]
Somehow I crawl even when I know I'm falling
Watching from the outside, I know that you're stalling
Do you even know my name anymore?
Does the mirror know what you've been hoping for?

[Chorus]
I tried to let you in but it was counterfeit
A false pretense is telling me I can't commit
And I keep putting myself last, I'm sick of it
I'm a piece of a puzzle, and I don't know where I fit
And I can keep quiet, until I see violet
I'm ready to begin again
But I'm a piece of a puzzle, and I don't even know what it is
