Memories consume 00:20

Like opening the wound 00:23

I'm picking me apart again 00:25

You all assume 00:29

I'm safe here in my room 00:32

Unless I try to start again 00:35

I don't want to be the one 00:38

The battles always choose 00:41

'Cause inside I realize 00:43

That I'm the one confused 00:45

I don't know what's worth fighting for 00:48

Or why I have to scream 00:50

I don't know why I instigate 00:52

And say what I don't mean 00:55

I don't know how I got this way 00:57

I know it's not alright 01:00

So, I'm breaking the habit 01:02

I'm breaking the habit tonight 01:07

01:14

Clutching my cure 01:17

I tightly lock the door 01:20

I try to catch my breath again 01:23

I hurt much more 01:27

Than anytime before 01:30

I had no options left again 01:32

I don't want to be the one 01:36

The battles always choose 01:38

'Cause inside, I realize 01:40

That I'm the one confused 01:43

I don't know what's worth fighting for 01:45

Or why I have to scream 01:48

I don't know why I instigate 01:50

And say what I don't mean 01:53

I don't know how I got this way 01:55

I'll never be alright 01:57

So, I'm breaking the habit 01:59

I'm breaking the habit tonight 02:04

I'll paint it on the walls 02:10

'Cause I'm the one at fault 02:15

I'll never fight again 02:20

And this is how it ends 02:25

I don't know what's worth fighting for 02:29

Or why I have to scream 02:31

But now I have some clarity 02:33

To show you what I mean 02:36

I don't know how I got this way 02:38

I'll never be alright 02:41

So, I'm breaking the habit 02:43

I'm breaking the habit 02:48

I'm breaking the habit tonight 02:52

Lyrics:

[English]

Memories consume

Like opening the wound

I'm picking me apart again

You all assume

I'm safe here in my room

Unless I try to start again

I don't want to be the one

The battles always choose

'Cause inside I realize

That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for

Or why I have to scream

I don't know why I instigate

And say what I don't mean

I don't know how I got this way

I know it's not alright

So, I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit tonight

...

Clutching my cure

I tightly lock the door

I try to catch my breath again

I hurt much more

Than anytime before

I had no options left again

I don't want to be the one

The battles always choose

'Cause inside, I realize

That I'm the one confused

I don't know what's worth fighting for

Or why I have to scream

I don't know why I instigate

And say what I don't mean

I don't know how I got this way

I'll never be alright

So, I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit tonight

I'll paint it on the walls

'Cause I'm the one at fault

I'll never fight again

And this is how it ends

I don't know what's worth fighting for

Or why I have to scream

But now I have some clarity

To show you what I mean

I don't know how I got this way

I'll never be alright

So, I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit

I'm breaking the habit tonight
