I don't wanna waste time talking about all the days you were stronger than me. I fail to see the sense in all of that.
It's almost like you want this, it's almost like you need it to survive.
To beat me down & bring me back to life.
The vultures came & stripped you of your throne.
You shouldn't throw stones when you haven't even made this place your home.
You didn't need to take my hand & throw me to the wolves.
You know it gets so complicated.
The whole damn thing leaves me frustrated.
Don't leave me here with no air to breathe.
I'll carry all this weight if you say you'll be awake.
The morning will come if the night feels safe.
Forever fears me.
All my fears have spread out on the floor.
Breaking my bones just to make you feel like you're worth so much more.
Don't you see this held us back?
I can't get through to you.
You know it gets so complicated.
The whole damn thing leaves me frustrated.
Don't leave me here with no air to breathe.
I'll carry all this weight if you say you'll be awake.
The morning will come if the night feels safe.
Forever fears me.
& I just can't bear to let you down.
After all that we've been through you can't hate me.
You can call me worthless if you like.
I won't say I'm sorry.
Don't leave me here with no air to breathe.
I'll carry all this weight if you say you'll be awake.
The morning will come if the night feels safe.
Forever fears me.
I don't wanna waste time talking about all the days you were stronger than me.
Forever fears me.
It's almost like you want this, it's almost like you need it to survive.
Forever fears me.
