lyrics

You had me, on the edge of my seat
Like I'm dangling my feet from the cliff, pondering the end of this
A lifeline, the future joy that I've sold
I mortgaged my dopamine, now everything's pale to me

‘Cause pain is a mirror, I promise it'll all get clearer
Open your eyes and see you do it to yourself

I'm burned out, it's hard to keep me awake
I count the days on the wall with a knife, what am I doing with my life
If I cried a river to drown, would you pull me out, ‘cause I need you more than ever right now
More than ever, more, more than ever

‘Cause pain is a mirror, I promise it'll all get clearer
Open your eyes and see you do it to yourself
Your love won't leave you, I know my hurt ain't see through
Open my eyes and see I do it to myself

And I hope that you'll pull me out, cause I need your more than ever right now

I'll watch us break up, like broken glass, the pieces gone, you're not coming back
I let you leave, I let you down, said I don't need help, I did this to myself
