"As If It Never Was" lyrics

"As If It Never Was"

Runaway, are you so fragile?
Fix the things you always break
Can you be on your own?
I let you be alone
Stay inside this mess you made
Runaway

I can't make
Make you change
You can be alone
Left all on your own
Runaway

I'm afraid that if I take my
Eyes off you for just a second
You'll find a way to be lonely
And I'll try to believe
But it hurts to keep you safe
You give me no faith
Because love is not enough for me

Decision's free
You found a way to be lonely
But it hurts
The shivering touch of affection
I was waiting for a moment
When you would call my name, come back to me
But the moment never came
The weight of faith never fell on me

I can't make
Make you change
You can be alone
Be alone
Be alone
Runaway
I can't make
Make you change
You can be alone
Left all on your own
Runaway

You press on with a life to end
Seize to exist within
You want to be free

Fear in the eyes of your family
Loss in the eyes of a lover
(You give me no faith)
Silence

Drummer Trey Celaya shared the following about "As If It Never Was", "These lyrics are based on a true story surrounding my family's history with addiction, and with these songs, I wanted to bring to light how subtle the signs are and how severe the damage can be when these dark secrets stay buried. The importance of perspective has been my biggest takeaway from all of this turmoil, and sadly, most addicts fall into addiction with a spirit of naivety, thinking it will cost them nothing."
