lyrics

I’ll make another grave mistake
Before I have the heart to say I’m wrong
And it tears me up from the inside out
When will I have the nerve to say?
The things that always mattered all along
I won’t do it this time
I still have my doubts

If I had just one more day
Id take back everything and then i’d say
Whats on my mind, all the time
It’s tearing me apart to hold these things inside
I got used to the thought that everything would be just fine
But I’m not alright

Choking on my nerves again
Wondering how my friends have been
Cause I’m distant and I’m losing patience
Anxiety has its grip and I don’t think I can win
I can feel the pressure, building up
I guess I’m built to suffer

Have you ever been so low its gray?
All your favorite songs can lose their meaning
And the ring you used to love to sing
i think ill stay inside today

I know I never tell you anything
Just know my heart is in the wrong place
And there is nothing you can do to make me stay
I’ll burn those bridges my own way
