So I guess I never know where to start,
So this time I will try it from the heart.
Nobody really knows just how I feel,
Maybe it's me, maybe not even I'm real.
I'm scared and I'm a little overwhelmed,
at how day's turn into years a little too well.
When I look back over times I should've lived,
To go back to those days, anything I would give.
So hold my hand, and don't be scared,
When I scream and shout, and push you away.
You know I need you, like the air that I breathe,
so keep the days ticking, I'll start today.
I wonder so much what it'd feel like,
To fuck it all up on purpose just for me.
But I guess I'm a coward, 'cause I lose sight,
and I go back to living, living in mediocrity.
So hold my hand, and don't be scared,
When I scream and shout, and push you away.
You know I need you, like the air that I breathe too,
so keep the days ticking, I'll start today.
