[Intro]
My whole life had been about making a masterpiece of some sort
And I was, like, this is going to be my masterpiece
People were saying "be cool";
It was the way that I felt in my mind that, I-
This is how you have to grow up to be at this age
You know, you have to let go of this idea-

Religion always seemed to give the perfect answer
But it just never was the full answer for what I wanted to know

[Verse 1]
It's okay to hate me
I hate myself too
If I ran away I would only miss you
It's okay to hate me
I hate myself too
If I ran away I would only miss you

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
But, if it means your happiness
If running’s what it takes
Then I hope you see forever’s
More than just mistakes
But, if it means your happiness
If running’s what it takes
Then I hope you see forever
Means more than just mistakes
