There's a black hole in your closet and it keeps sucking you back in
Is this truly how you wanted it or just how you thought you'd best fit in
As you fall deeper going farther you've lost touch with where you began
I was so confused when I saw you I introduced myself again
I have seen that look in your eyes
And I don't know what it says or above what it must rise
You've made it here and I guess I'm not surprised
But if you think you're missing out well then it's really not alright
It's not what you wanted stuck in a routine
I admit I have had the same feelings
You're lost somewhere I don't know
You can't grow when you're lying to even yourself
It's fucking hell it's fucking hell
When I got back to the party you were just stepping out to leave
You had other obligations to go and be all you could be
And if I could ever go back to then I'm not sure what I'd think
Cuz you went and turned your life around before I had the time to blink
A part of you you're always gonna hide
That you just can't accept that you just can't deny
I know how it feels to be someone else inside
The person that you were is trying to say goodbye
I've seen the way that you look I've seen
And I know you used to have way different dreams
You're gone somewhere in the world
Lost and twirling around I wish that you were near
I'll be right here, I'll be here
