Listen,
I'm not gunna lie to you,
I thought about ending it all last night
When you were away
And I'm sorry,
And I can't even tell you why,
What would you do if you came home to me
like that?
And it's all,
In my head, I'm in my head,
And it's all,
Digging deeper I just need a keeper,
And that's all,
My tragedy is that I'm stuck with me,
And that's all,
I'm in my hands not in your hands
And that's all.
Don't go,
I'm just gunna break again,
I thought about wasting my life with one
Razorblade,
But I wouldn't do that,
I'm just scared of feeling it,
And maybe just maybe I'll work all this out
On my own.
And it's all,
In my head, I'm in my head,
And it's all,
Digging deeper I just need a keeper,
And that's all,
My tragedy is that I'm stuck with me,
And that's all,
I'm in my hands not in your hands
And that's all.
Dear loneliness,
How I've missed you my old friend,
It's been a few years and yet not one of us
Has changed,
Dear loneliness,
You've always been there for me,
But I hate you and all of the joys
You seem to bring.
And it's all,
In my head, I'm in my head,
And it's all,
Digging deeper I just need a keeper,
And that's all,
My tragedy is that I'm stuck with me,
And that's all,
I'm in my hands not in your hands
And that's all.
