"Don't Wait For Me" lyrics

I carried the burden
It weighed down my skin
Like a coat full of armour
I won't ever fit in
(I get this feeling, I get this feeling)
Like my past is still haunting me now
(I get this feeling, I get this feeling)
Like I'm running in circles
And I don't know how to get out
Maybe 'cause your words
Still hurt me now

Don't wait for me
Don't wait for me

Knocked down and I felt it
For the very last time
I always had your back
And you only stabbed mine
Do you recall all the pain in my eyes?
From all the lies
From all the lies
Do you remember the hole in my backbone
You left there from tearing me down?

Don't wait
Don't wait for me

Take what you need
Take what you please
Take every piece of me
You're gonna do it anyway

And though it feels like a lifetime ago
I wanna know
I've gotta know
Did you feel free
From making me concede?
And though if feels like a lifetime ago
I wanna know
I've gotta know
Did you feel tall
By making me feel so, damn, small?
You made me feel so small

Don't wait for me
Don't wait for me
