You're in deep, I keep my distance In my sleep, I'm still with him In his room, where he told me He is lonely but he doesn't miss me And I still refuse to cry about it Sorry if it makes me seem too distant I'm too used to silence But I'll tell you if you ask me All of this time I've been blinded All of this love is one-sided Now I know, next time, to let it go Keep one eye open at night and I wanna let you back in But I've still got scars on my skin I know in time I can let it go But I still keep one eye open He said he wished I knew myself But when I did, he tapped out So when I drink, I get upset But please don't think I love you less All of this time I've been blinded All of this love is one-sided Now I know, next time, to let it go Keep one eye open at night and I wanna let you back in But I've still got scars on my skin I know in time I can let it go But I still keep one eye open

[Verse 1] I read what's creased around my eyes I look older than I did last night I've been giving into my lesser side Stockpiling all of my pride I've been calling home less on the weekends And making mama cry [Pre-Chorus] Hiding anger underneath my skin I'm picking my nails down unto the quick Oh, honestly my memory's A blessing in disguise If I remembered everything I'd make a vodka cyanide [Chorus] Apologies never matter Late in the morning after Take me away from my own head Baby, I'm a walking disaster Pick up all the shame I can gather Throw it over the rafters Take my fingers and stain them all red Baby, I'm a walking disaster [Verse 2] So painfully unself-aware Thinking I can solve my problems if I dye my hair I shout my ailments to the end of a small suburban town I get what I want, choking on the silver in my mouth [Chorus] Apologies never matter Late in the morning after Take me away from my own head Baby, I'm a walking disaster Pick up all the shame I can gather Throw it over the rafters Take my fingers and stain them all red Baby, I'm a walking disaster [Outro] It's gonna pass if you give it time If you let it slide through You can try and put up a fight Or you can let it pass by you You can let it pass by you...

Tame my heart And the pain, as it sharpens There's nothing even wrong I hide away in my bed (Haven't slept, haven't slept yet, haven't slept) And sometimes it's too hard to cry And too hard to shut my eyes So I lay retching on the tile Til I find some peace of mind There's nothing even wrong There's nothing even wrong There's nothing even wrong

Take all of my pitfalls And my damage, I can manage I'll fit you to a pen Put you to paper again And try to spare my feelings By blaming how I'm feeling On how you made me feel and It's not true, it can't be I'm not gonna give in to you I won't believe you have that power over me I won't believe you have that power over me Will you ever go away? Sugarcoat your interceptions They're good intentions, huh? You pull me up at once Tell me why I'm wrong and then Push me down again Again, again, again Are you tired too? Do you get tired too? Will you... Will you ever go away?

Nihilistic, hold my breath I'm catatonic in my bed Living off of borrowed money Like I deserve it Wonder why nobody wants me As if I've earned it yet I don't wanna waste your time I don't wanna make excuses anymore But I can't keep from crying I'm sorry I can't come out I really hate myself right now Gonna turn it all around but not tonight I'm sorry I let you down You should tape over my mouth I'm gonna wear you out Without even trying Without even trying Self-reflective to a fault I'm always anxious when you call Cause I'm not who I wanna be yet And I don't want you to see me if I'm less than perfect I don't wanna waste your time I don't wanna make excuses anymore But I can't keep from crying I'm sorry I can't come out I really hate myself right now Gonna turn it all around but not tonight I'm sorry I let you down You should tape over my mouth I'm gonna wear you out Without even trying Without even trying Shake the voices as they plague my mind I see it playing over again, sixty times Wish I could just forget it, bet you wish I would But I can see you clearly and I'm catching up
