"If I Could Erase It" lyrics

I want to be like you
Forget what I said to
Somebody I used to know
When I was someone they used to know
I try to be honest
To grow into someone I'm proud of
But you make it so hard
When all you do is pull me down

If I do it all over
I wish I could take it, throw it away
And start over
If I could erase it

If I could start over
There's so many things that I'd change
If I could start over
There's so much inside me I hate
The past's supposed to stay
Why does it follow me?
I can't outrun myself
If I could start over

I'm sick of everyone around me
Acting like they can't see
The elephant behind me
I'm in a constant state of stress
From the weight that's on my chest
And I don't wanna pretend that I'm okay
I've always been the kind to (Bury shit inside to)
Let it rot and gradually consume me
Let it build into a rage (That I take out in a way)
That makes everyone I love fucking hate me

If I could start over
There's so many things that I'd change
If I could start over
There's so much inside me I hate
The past's supposed to stay
Why does it follow me?
I can't outrun myself
If I could start over

Take it all back
Let me erase me, erase me
Take it all back
I don't wanna see
Take it all back
Let me erase me, erase me
Take it all back
I don't wanna be this!

Let me erase me, erase me
Take it all back
I don't wanna be this!
Erase me, erase me
Take it all back

If I could do it all over, over
I wish I could take it, throw it away
If I could start over, over
If I could erase it I would erase it
Yeah!

If I could start over
There's so many things that I'd change
If I could start over
There's so much inside me I hate
The past's supposed to stay
Why does it follow me?
I can't outrun myself
If I could start over

If I could start over!
