[Verse 1]
For years I felt your pain
The tumor you hid was making your body turn blue
I chose to ignore it thinking it was psychological
I chose to ignore it thinking it was psychological
I made myself believe it thinking it was irreversible
I made myself believe it thinking it was irreversible

[Chorus]
I chose to ignore it thinking I was better off dead
I chose to ignore it thinking I was better off dead
I chose to ignore it thinking I was better off dead

[Verse 2]
Your feet are skinned alive
The smile you hold
Is nothing but a precious lie
I chose to ignore thinking it was psychological
I chose to ignore thinking it was psychological
I made myself believe it thinking it was irreversible
I made myself believe it thinking it was irreversible

[Chorus]
I chose to ignore it thinking I was better off dead
I chose to ignore it thinking I was better off dead
I chose to ignore it thinking I was better off dead
I chose to ignore it thinking I was better off dead
[Outro]
For years I felt your pain...
For years...
Mother; sister
Father of mine; tonight
(For years I felt your pain)
Mommy, look into my eyes
(For years I felt your pain)
Tonight, tonight's the night I set you free
(For years I felt your pain...)
