so deserving of love and happiness
just going about it all wrong
thinking people can make you feel better
there's more to achieve than a trauma bond
there's more to love about yourself
than the way you wish you were seen
hanging around people
who make you the opposite of what you wanna be
cause if all they can pay is lip service
they can't afford your company
peddling their *******
lies in abundancy
the worst of them all
being that you're hard to love
they should go find less
if they truly believe you're too much
different opportunities open for me
i like the idea of any future i please
i am not opposed to seeing where it could lead
but i also know i'm running on a short leash
gonna overstay this lease
of midnight confidence that's taken over me
i'm just liking all of the pretty things i see
imma let it all fade off and fall right back to sleep
backing off before i fall off the edge
i need to be the one who cares less
or we can split it fair if that's cool with you
just don't wanna walk away again feeling used
or like i was just a pity **** when i reached out first
i don't really like being chased but that's never gotten me hurt
it's the chasing that ***** me over every time
i see what i want and it's close enough to touch but it's too soon to safely try
go to sleep
go to sleep
not one word
not a peep
ride the wave
out to sea
hear these words
feel their peace
you worked hard
now take release
it's not fair
to your body

for being weak
be kind this time

go to sleep

so much potential
where did it go
you had all the plans
but ignored what you wrote
all laid out
yellow brick road
now you're nobody
in a stranger's home
living empty days
falling on a flat note
lost everything
can barely trust what you know
is this even making sense
at this point who knows
it was meant to be a little fun
now i've gone and said too much
when the liquor started pouring
so did all the feelings i've kept bottled up
those are the thoughts i've been having
i'm sorry if they scare you honey
or if it's shocking to hear this
coming directly from me
oh he knows
yeah he definitely knows
he's only ever heard that once before
when it jumped out of my throat
and it crawled under his skin
where it still lives
i'm happy he's uncomfortable
he shouldn't be able to live with it
