[Intro]
I won’t let temporary pain make me a permanent mistake
I won’t let temporary pain make me a permanent mistake

[Verse 1]
If all these scars could speak, if you could live my life
If all the trauma talked, you’d wonder how I’m still alive
If all the secrets screamed, if you could read my mind
You’d see the memories and wonder how I’m still alive

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t know (I don’t know)

If karma’s close (Karma’s close)
But all I know (All I know)
Is I’ve come too far to just let go

[Chorus]
Don’t know when I’ll beat what’s in my brain
Don’t know when the demons go away
But I know that the dead don’t live to see
The other side of pain
Don’t know when the trauma’s finally tame
Don’t know when my scars will turn to strengths
But I know that the dead don’t live to see
The other side of pain
And that’s why I stay (Stay)

[Verse 2]
If core beliefs broke skin, if thoughts could testify
You’d find the evidence and wonder how I’m still alive
If every cut confessed (Confessed), if you could see through lies (Lies)
You’d know what I’ve suppressed and wonder how I’m still alive

[Pre-Chorus]
The only thing that keeps me sane
When everything I hate won’t change
Is I’d rather live with maybe‘s then decide it all was fame

[Chorus]
Don’t know when I’ll beat what’s in my brain
Don’t know when the demons go away
But I know that the dead don’t live to see
The other side of pain
Don’t know when the trauma’s finally tame
Don’t know when my scars will turn to strengths
But I know that the dead don’t live to see
The other side of pain
And that’s why I stay

[Bridge]
Wouldn’t call it faith, but I’ll do my time
Even if I have to be the answers I can’t find
Wouldn’t call it hope (Hope), but if there’s more to life
I’ll never know it if I give into goodbye

[Post-Bridge]
I won’t let temporary pain make me a permanent mistake
I won’t let temporary pain make me a permanent mistake
(Make me a permanent mistake)

[Chorus]
Don’t know when I’ll beat what’s in my brain
Don’t know when the demons go away
But I know that the dead don’t live to see
The other side of pain
Don’t know when the trauma’s finally tame
Don’t know when my scars will turn to strengths
But I know that the dead don’t live to see
The other side of pain
And that’s why I stay

[Post-Chorus]
I won’t let temporary pain make me a permanent mistake
I won’t let temporary pain make me a permanent mistake

[Outro]
I don’t know (I don’t know)
If karma’s close (Karma’s close)
But all I know (All I know)
Is I’ve come too far to just let go
I don’t know (I don’t know)
If karma’s close (Karma’s close)
But all I know (All I know)
Is I’ve come too far to just let go
I don’t know (I don’t know)
If karma’s close (Karma’s close)
But all I know (All I know)
Is I’ve come too far to just let go
I don’t know (I don’t know)
If karma’s close (Karma’s close)
But all I know (All I know)
Is I’ve come too far to just let go
