A New Life
Chris Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I thought that I knew you but that didn't seem to be true
You lead me to believe that I could never leave

After all the shit you put me through I didn't know you were missing screws
And maybe if you let me go, I could cut the strings of this puppet show

You're hurting me, why can't you see
That I need help pulling out this knife

A failed escape another bruised scrape
You find joy in cutting up my life
Take off these chains get out of my brain
You're driving me insane and causing me pain
A failed escape another bruised scrape
I want a new life because you broke mine

I wish that I could move on, but you keep pulling me back
I wish I could see a new dawn, but you refuse to give me slack
What is it about you that won't let me get away?
What is it about you that makes me want to stay?
I push you pull till you feel full then push me to the ground
You're using me and that I see but still don't make a sound

You're hurting me, why can't you see
That I need help pulling out this knife
A failed escape another bruised scrape
You find joy in cutting up my life
Take off these chains get out of my brain
You're driving me insane and causing me pain

A failed escape another bruised scrape
I need a new life because you broke mine
