I know that it's just a feeling and it's slowly fading
But why then is it that I can't stop breathing?
Why am I nicknamed "the substitute"?
I force a smile and then apologize again
Forget the one who's always misbehaving
My life is hardly ever worth explaining
Blame me until it's over, give me closure
I try my best to make you believe my lies
Everyday brings a new "sorry" and a new lie
You're getting tired of this simple routine, right?
Cause no one needs me
I pretend that I'm gone completely
I wanted to get out of bed today, but
I always get in my way!
I'm sorry for all of the problems I've caused!
Just give me another scar...
Never getting a perfect score
Tell me, what am I good for?
You must be tired of hearing me say 'I'm sorry'!
I'll make sure I'll never be in your way!
I'm better off on my own...
Doesn't matter whether I'm gone or not
After all, I'm always the wrong one, right?
I know I'll never belong
Celebrating, yet I'm feeling happy for you!
Feeling lonely even when I'm around other people
Putting on a smile is the only thing I can do, 'cause
I was never important to the world or my friends
I've given too many explanations
So why should I bother at all?
When I can take the fall, then everyone gets their satisfaction
And believe that everything is okay in the end, so
Don't forgive me!
Escaping from the spotlight and the lies
I'm not telling you why I am alone today
It's the only reason I stay
I'm sorry for all of the problems I've caused
Just making another heart break
Giving you a bad lie, saying 'I'll see ya' and going home
I'm getting scared when I think that I should...
Be honest, give me a sign
Don't you think I'm crossing the line?
Stay alive and fit the expectation that I'm setting in my mind?
Apologizing and saying it every time
Repeating the broken rhyme
Telling you I'm gonna be fine, you know that it's a lie, right?
Until the day that I die!
I'm sorry for all of the problems I've caused!
Just give me another scar...
Never getting a perfect score, tell me, what am I good for?
You must be tired of hearing me say 'I'm sorry'!
I'll make sure I'll never be in your way!
I'm better off on my own...
Doesn't matter whether I'm gone or not
After all, I'm always the wrong one, right?
I know I'll never belong
And this is not what I want!
Tomorrow's gonna be my fault...
I know that it's just a feeling and it's slowly fading
But why then is it that I can't stop breathing?
Why am I nicknamed "the substitute"?
I force a smile and then apologize again
