"Vortex" lyrics

"Vortex"

I know it's not my fault
But I can't say that I'm blameless
Carry the pain 'til it stops
Undress it until it's nameless

Someday, the world will stop
And it will feel just like this did
I know it's not my fault
But sometimes it feels like I did this

Oh, oh
Someday, I'll be able to let you go
Oh, oh
Someday, I'll be kinder to myself

One second into the next
I never know where my feet are
We're spinning out of a vortex
I don't remember who we are

Oh, oh
Someday, I'll be able to let you go
Oh, oh
And it's harder when you know all that we know

And you're screaming at me
And I'm watching it fall
And I'm slamming the door
And you make yourself tall
But it's always an act
And it never lasts long
'Cause I always come back
When I need a new song
And I'm tired of this
And the way that it feels
I'm not there anymore
This has never been real
We're just awful together
And awful apart
I don't know what to do anymore

Oh, oh
Someday, I'll be able to let you go
Oh, oh
Someday, you'll come back, and I'll say no
