To the world, you are just one person, but to one person, you could be the world.


[Verse 1]
I feel like a prisoner in my own home
With no one to save me, I’m all alone
I cry out for help, but nobody hears
Got nothing but my pillow to catch my tears

I’m tired of the guilt trips, your lips
Constantly yelling at me
Mood swings, pullin’ strings
Till there’s nothing left of me

[Bridge 1]
All these things, I can’t take it anymore
I’ve come so close to walking out the door
And I won’t look back, oh that’s for sure
But you should’ve thought of that before

[Chorus]
You pushed me away and left me with no choice
You decided not to listen to the words in my voice
You disconnected me from everything we were
And now my whole life is left in a blur
What else is there for me to do?
I can’t stand being here with you
You keep pushing, pushing, pushing
You’re pushing me away

[Verse 2]
You’ve apologized for so many mistakes
But there’s only so much that I can take
My forgiveness is beginning to run dry
And when I turn away, ask yourself why

I’m tired of your abuse, your excuse
No more second chances
I’ve given up, I’ve had enough
No more passing glances

[Bridge 2]
This house isn’t a home to me anymore
Nothing but anguish left for me in store
If I run away, I won’t think twice for sure
But you should’ve thought of that before

[Chorus]
You pushed me away and left me with no choice
You decided not to listen to the words in my voice
You disconnected me from everything we were
And now my whole life is left in a blur
What else is there for me to do?
I can’t stand being here with you
You keep pushing, pushing, pushing

[Bridge]
You’re pushing me away
Further from my home
Further from the only thing
That I’ve ever known
You’re pushing me away
I don’t know what to do
But I can’t stay here
I can’t stay here with you

I need to get away
Keep pushing, pushing, pushing
Keep pushing me away

[Chorus]
You pushed me away and left me with no choice
You decided not to listen to the words in my voice
You disconnected me from everything we were
And now my whole life is left in a blur
What else is there for me to do?
I can’t stand being here with you
You keep pushing, pushing, pushing
You’re pushing me away

Keep pushing, pushing so far away
You’re pushing me away
