      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought I left
I remember packing up
saying see you later
and driving away</p>

<p>So why am I still there?</p>

<p>I still feel pushed away and alone
I&#39;m certain no one wants me around
but I&#39;m not there anymore
where I always felt those feelings</p>

<p>So why am I still there?</p>

<p>I open a door
hear voices laughing
and I&#39;m back there again
with this pit in my stomach</p>

<p>Why am I still here?</p>

<p>You hurt people I love
You forgot and ignored me
That&#39;s why I left
Why am I still here?</p>

<p>Why can&#39;t I leave?</p>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was nice at first
full of love and joy
but it was all fake
it was only a ploy

It hollowed you out
broke you down
held you under
until you drowned</p>

<p>It tried to convince you
that you did this
that you’re to blame
for everything being amiss</p>

<p>You didn’t sign up for this
You didn’t ask for it
It dragged you back every time
you tried to quit</p>

<p>Don’t listen to the lies
stop them, grind them to a halt
and always, always remember
that this is not your fault</p>
