Lyrics:
My whole life I’ve been
Picking up the pieces
And trying to force them all together
And you figured after all these years
I’d know better
But I medicate and fixate on
The things that I can’t change
And try my best not to pull you under
And I only have myself to blame

A better year isn’t much to ask
When I know my chances
And you’re scared
That the mess we made won’t come together
I feel your disappointment
Every time I lose my temper

We’ve got the whole day with nowhere to be
But I’ll fuck it all up self-deprecating
You say there’s nothing wrong but please
There’s a black could looming over me
You asked me why do I do this?
And you’re right I’m out of excuses

I’m not worthy of the air you breathe
But I’m inconsiderate, I need you around me
I’m not worthy of the air you breathe
So we’re suffocating
I can feel your disappointment
And it’s more than I can bare
All I do is pull you under
When you’re coming up for air
Lie to me and tell me you’re okay
