"Wallflower" lyrics

It was 1995: that was the last time I remember
The two of them side by side
Summer 2003 he said the world collapsed around me
And left me with my peace of mind
I really hope you're doing OK
But more than that I just hope you stay

And I know
It doesn't have to be this way
But I've grown
To the excuses that I make

I'm louder than the dead in the dirt
And I've lost all control of my temper
But I'm taking my time to make this work

I'm gonna die like this, a pacifist can't you see?
Honestly can you really blame me
I never stood a chance in this place
This place isn't beautiful to me

And I know
It doesn't have to be this way
But I've grown
To the excuses that I make

I hope
That there's a way to make you stay
But you know
There's just some things that never change
