I can't handle this and I never could
The sweat is leaving my body like I knew it would
Don't ask me to look in your eyes
This smile is my disguise
I can't take care of myself
Independence is bad for my health
Blackouts and misery
Will be the death of me
Paint a picture of what you want from me
Make the colours bright and bold
I'm like a child with a deadly disease
I don't plan on growing old
Don't be so quick to feel absolved
The guilt is burdened on my soul
Soft skin and sympathy
Will be the death of me
Slip in to insanity
What the fuck is wrong with me
Holding on for my life
Quite literally
Blackouts and misery will be the death of me

I see everything in black and grey
No headspace for me to contain my sanity
And i've got more worries than i can say
All in one breath
I fear i am something you'll forget
Well i lost myself in this hopeless hell
That i call my home
This winter breeze hollows me
And i still i feel so fucking cold
I'm made of building blocks of bad habits
So I'm built to collapse when my brain has had it
I tried to be fitting into your symmetry
I'm sorry but that's just not me
I tried to be the one that made you happy
I'm sorry it could never be me

Everything that was said had me laid out on the floor
I tried to be just what you wanted
I know you wanted more
Everything that was said to stop the paranoia in my head
Became a lie when you took him to bed
I just have to know
Would you do it again?
I'll be fine
I just need time
I'll tread water for a while
Maybe then I'll smile
And though I've been a fool
I still come crawling back to you
And everything that was said
Stills runs circles in my head

Having your bones slide against mine was such a valid excuse to lose my mind. A feeling of infinite escape from reality and time passed me by and i know you don't want me to say but i love you cause your silences hurt more than your goodbyes. But now i lie here on these sheets, blessed by your scent and memories of all this mess that still in my mind feels like bliss, peace, no guilt but just our innocence and nothing left. And I can't help but feel like you're running away from what could've been the best fucking thing for us both and I don't know why. For once i can't find the answer in your eyes. It's normal for me to search inside go deep to your soul and understand your strife.
Hey there, didn't see you by the door
Cold stare, i belong inside a morgue
Breathe air, it's become such a pain
Beware, i may drag you down again
You put the bruises in my guts
You put the poison in my cuts
You tore apart my love from lust
I'm sorry i was not enough
