it never stopped

Verse 1

Little kid

None of this was your fault

You survived the salt and the sting

Alone

Doing everything

Chorus

I saw you suffer

I saw you smile

I saw you cry

I saw you laugh

I saw you suffer

I saw you smile

I saw you cry

I saw you laugh

How do you let it go

How do you let it go

Verse 2

Joke of the group

Last option when the plans fell through

Cheap faces

Bitter traces of a home

Mom was deaf to the noise

Just a crowd of boys

Brother first

While you quenched the thirst for a ghost

Innocent soul

Keeping control when the room got cold

Chorus

I saw you suffer

I saw you smile

I saw you cry

I saw you laugh

I saw you suffer

I saw you smile

I saw you cry

I saw you laugh

How do you let it go

How do you let it go

Verse 3

Father gone since you were two

Looking for a clue of what a man should be

Taught yourself

Built a shelf for the weight

Glass breaks

Mother shakes the foundation

Sixteen and the cheek is red

Blood bled

Standing tall

While the rest of them crawl in the dark

Bridge

Under the curtain

Under the sheets

Soaking the pillow

Feeling the heat

The enemy was the refuge

The guilt was the flood

You fixed it alone

You broke it alone

You cried it alone

You hugged yourself

We are the same person

Just a different year

Chorus

I saw you suffer

I saw you smile

I saw you cry

I saw you laugh

I saw you suffer

I saw you smile

I saw you cry

I saw you laugh

How do you let it go

How do you let it go

Outro

Two months until eighteen

What happens to the ghost

What happens to the sting

It never stopped

It never stopped

Alone

Alone
