[Verse 1] The other day I played my dad a song I wrote about you He said that he hopes no one ever treats me like that I told him I wrote it from someone else's perspective so he wouldn't hate you But it really got me thinking when the lyrics made him sad 'Cause he taught me to guard my heart So how could I tell him I let you tear it apart? He'd be so disappointed in me And I hate to leave him wondering why his little girl cries every night He'd probably feel so helpless I'm hurting him worse than how you hurt me
[Chorus] So I'm gonna try to fix myself I think it's time I admit I need help And that starts with loving you from a distance I really don't care that I'm not alright But I just can't bear the pain in their eyes When they say I should leave you and I always refuse to listen 'Cause I'm comfortable when I'm breaking down And I push everyone who loves me out So I'm just left with you painting me blue again And I'd let you do that forevermore but they all miss who I was before So it's time I let you go but just know I'm only doing this for them
[Verse 2] The other day my mum came in my room as I was crying I didn't wanna talk so I yelled at her to leave You could almost hear her heart break But that still didn't stop her from trying to pick me up off the floor She said she's getting worried about me She's given me everything and all I've done is give her anxiety 'Cause she's watching me fade away I'm skipping dinner and getting thinner And I didn't think anyone could notice But she said all her friends are praying for me Then she smiles but I can tell that she's not okay
[Chorus] So I'm gonna try to fix myself I think it's time I admit I need help And that starts with loving you from a distance I really don't care that I'm not alright But I just can't bear the pain in their eyes When they say I should leave you and I always refuse to listen 'Cause I'm comfortable when I'm breaking down And I push everyone who loves me out So I'm just left with you painting me blue again And I'd let you do that forevermore but they all miss who I was before So it's time I let you go but just know I'm only doing this for them
[Bridge] How dare you look at me Like I'm all you've ever wanted Just to toss me out, abused and haunted How dare you hold my hand As you brand your name in my skin You're my hero, then you throw me back in the flames again But third degree burns are better than a lifetime without you Would it be that bad without you?
I've always shown up followed by a trail of my blood up to your door And you pretend like you don't know who the scars are for And that's all I've ever known As long as I got one whiff of your cologne That was enough for me But all of me was never enough for you There's some people though That are waiting for me to come back home I wanna get better for them So this is when I say goodbye to you I understand now that I have to
[Chorus] If I wanna try to fix myself I think it's time I admit I need help And that starts with loosening my grip on you I really don't care that I'm not alright But I just can't bear the pain in their eyes When they say I deserve more but I never thought less of you 'Cause I fell in love with your beautiful eyes And I became someone they don't recognize And I don't wanna be just another stranger to my friends I've been stuck watching our two ghosts dance But I'm not giving you your hundredth chance 'Cause it's time I let you go but just know I'm only doing this for themTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
