lyrics

Walkin' away would hurt you badly
But maybe not more than I've already done
Is it worth staying just to see if I can do a little better,
Or am I standing in the way of someone?
Someone else
Who will finally treat you right?
Someone else
Who won’t make you feel alone out of spite?

Is there some beauty in my desperation?
When I'm depressed you say I'm being so real
Would it be bravery or exploitation
To tell you all the stupid shit that I feel?
Do you find
You can trust me more when I am in pain?
Do you mind
If I close this door so I can stay sane?

Well I’m young enough to be uncertain
But old enough to be weighed down by fatigue
And when I wonder if there’s nothing but the void after my death
I can’t help but feel a little relief
If we lived
Would we ultimately want it to end?
If we lived
Would we hurt each other again and again?
