I guess I never learned

I guess I never learned
How to take a step away
I let it pull me closer
Like I needed it to stay
It carved its shape into me
Left a mark I can't forget
Now I carry every moment
And I haven't healed it yet

So I keep feeling the weight pressing down on my skin
If I could shed what it left I'd begin again
But I give in to the pull to the way that it wins
On my skin on my skin
On my skin on my skin

I guess I never knew
How to leave it all behind
I keep tracing over lines
That I swore weren't mine
It lingers like a shadow
And I tell myself it's gone
But it's there beneath the surface
Every time I move on

So I keep feeling the weight pressing down on my skin
If I could shed what it left I'd begin again
But I give in to the pull to the way that it wins
On my skin on my skin
On my skin on my skin

I thought I could stand my ground
But it keeps pulling me down
It lingers where it always has
And I can't outrun the past

So I keep feeling the weight pressing down on my skin
If I could shed what it left I'd begin again
But I give in to the pull to the way that it wins
On my skin on my skin
On my skin on my skin

I guess I never learned
How to let it fade
(Oh oh)
