The Man I Swore To Be Lyrics – redseas07, NicoisNXXT

Shh

I’ve got this feeling
I’ve yet to shake
And I don’t know how much more
Of this feeling I can take before I

Chip Chip Chip
Like an old decaying paint
It’s always present, even if at times, it’s faint

I’m Slowly growing ever lonely

And worst of all the only
Perp at fault is ME Me me
Seems I’m not the man I swore to be
AND YOU’RE NOT THE MAN-
YOU’RE NOT THE DAMNED I WANNA SEE-

My cursed reflection in the mirror
And under the weight of my imperfections
I can hear her
Desperately trying to guide me the right direction
But I fear
There’s a crack in the glass
And it’s made things unclear for me

YOU’RE NOT THE VOICE I NEED HEAR
GRANT ME THE COURAGE TO VOICE MY NEEDS HERE
SO MY VOICE MIGHT REACH EARS
THAT AREN’T DEAF TO MY CRIES
Let me hear it just
One More TIME–

Say you’re proud of me
Say you’re proud of me
Say it loud enough
To scare the thoughts surrounding me

Blow away my doubts
Because I know that you were counting on me
To keep you close

Say you’re proud of me
Say you’re proud of me
Say it loud enough
To tear the heartbeat, pounding out my chest
Or grab me by the neck
Unraveling my head til I join you in
Death

I beg you to forgive

It’s YOU who should have lived

You knew I couldn’t dare

Move forward, for I’m scared
I’m too afraid… to run if you’re not there

It’s hard to bear this weight… that’s-

OUR’S TO SHARE
Tch

I’ve GOT THIS FEELing
I’ve YET TO SHAKE
AND I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE
OF THIS FEELING I CAN TAKE
SO I’ll CHIP CHIP CHIP
AT MY HEART UNTIL IT BREAKS
AND I’ll REBUILD
IF NOT FOR ME, THEN IT’LL BE FOR HER SAKE
SO EVEN IF IT’S FAKE
I’ll PAVE AWAY THE PAIN
AND THAT’S A GUARANTEE~~~

So stay awake for simply long enough to see
Me walk the way you gave your all to leave for me
So stay awake for simply long enough to see
I’ll walk your way
Until I’m strong enough to be
Strong enough for me
