Falling in love with someone on the tv for the 3rd night this week think im broken desperate for connection but its just too much to take I dont wanna feel good I dont wanna feel better I dont wanna feel this Whatever chance I had is over Everywhere I look I see people together I know it can’t happen for me Too hard to love, and undeserving I am made up of inadequacies I dont wanna feel good I dont wanna feel better I am too trapped in the misery to change i dont wanna feel good I dont wanna feel better Too afraid to let myself believe I could be loved Completely Awkwardly Loved
2.
You say when I cry it makes you feel shit That its not your fucking problem to deal with But im not looking for an answer I just need a hug No I dont want resolution I just want some warmth But I think you’re looking for an echo chamber Think you’re looking for someone who smiles no matter what you do Baby im not gonna be that for you So you can go out and find something better Tell me im too unwell to be loved by anyone thats cool But I think I might be done believing you You say when im sad you can feel it But it was never even sadness to begin with Desolated by a disease I dont understand You say I need to get a grip can you just hold my hand? Everything gets to me Always known who I am No lack of empathy Im filled way past the brim Told you about all my fears You said you understood You said you understood
3.
I feel guilty all the time A disappointment I am useless I just can’t seem to find a reason to be kind to myself I shout I scream you will never be anything else than the person you already see Can’t help but feel That this one might not be for me Can’t help but feel And it seems like I can never sleep Constantly fixed on a new worry I lie awake at night between tears trying to find a way to survive And I know that you would tell me different But I feel like I’m the biggest burden Wish I could find something that I didn’t hate Wish I could make all of this just go away But I’m here again Trapped in my head Chest empty but aching I’m here again
4.
I dont wanna go to the pub You only wanna hang out if you can get drunk Sick of cancelled plans cause you’re feeling hungover Sick of cans cans cans ill never fit in with ya Can I have a minute? Think ive had my limit Of Lime and Soda Wish you were sober You tell me things you won’t remember the next day You open up to me then its fuck I was so drunk what did I say? A heart to heart turns into nothing ever happened I wanna get to know you but I feel like im battling Can I have a minute? Think ive had my limit Of do I know ya? Wish you were sober

Rest 02:39
How did I end up here? In this room that isn’t mine I can hear someone crying through the wall Im terrified They wanna know what im feeling Wanna know what I can see If I tell them then that might make it real Its already so real to me Easy to say I dont belong here Easy to say that im different im just stressed I know they can see it in my eyes Maybe I need a rest Easy to say I dont belong here But im fucked and im broken at my best I know they can see it in my eyes m Maybe I need a rest Think that ill be here a few days Out by the end of the week No its nothing serious Dont look at me like that Suddenly its 3 weeks later And they still think I need time Think that I might have to face up to it Im not fine
6.
Every little bit of me wants to fall into you Can hear you talking on the phone in the other room It’d seem so easy to just take things back a few weeks When we weren’t talking When you were pretending That you ever loved me But I still love you Even though you dont deserve it And you just wanted to Yeah you just wanted to Keep me quiet Keep me tired Keep me not seeing who you really are You won’t have a conversation so fuck it Im sick of being The emotion to your logic
7.
Everything I ever thought was true Reflected back at me through your words Incapable unloveable irrational I know I know I am On the edge of the world exactly where you wanted me Too much is all that I can hear You’re too much of everything You broke me You really know how to manipulate my insecurities You broke me But I can’t help but tell my friends everythings good its nothing Starting to see the way you change your face you change your voice When other people are around you And I think I see a glimpse Of someone that I thought was real Someone that I thought I knew
8.
Ive been waiting for something to miss Ive been searching for some new pain to exist But im empty chronically That is what they said to me Wish I could say ive not felt like this before Like nothing fills me up or keeps me warm But it always leaves me feeling the same Too much or not enough And im tired of fighting Cause when I look into the mirror all i see is just a blank space When I catch my reflection I just wanna look away Ive tried finding it in someone to kiss By taking sharp things to my body and cutting it is there something bigger out there? Can you send me a sign? Cause I dont think im really quite alive Are my insides rotting down and away? Cause I wouldn’t need them in this state anyway

Melt 02:58
Well im sick and im tired of all these thoughts in my head my biggest enemy is me ever since day one just like she says And the things that I feel They dont need no evidence Ill just decide that its real Im a burden and im a disappointment And im breaking at the seams again Well I’m sick and I’m tired of all these things I can hear You tap me on the shoulder I turn around there’s nothing there My mind is full it’s spilling out melt through the walls and close them in I see my face in yours It’s what I’m hiding from I see my face in yours And I’m breaking at the seams And I’m shaking in my sleep And I’m falling down deep
