Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'll hide and find a place to hang my head
Stare at the floor inside, I tried my best
I wanna stay away, but don't think that I can
I keep trying again and again
I'm over it
[Chorus]
Don't think that I can make this work
Biting my tongue with blood on my shirt
I know I have so much more to learn
Like how to quit when all my alternatives are spent
Everyone that I love has left
Wish you saw me for who I am
But I guess that every day is all for forfeit
Giving up hurts so much more than staying away
At least nobody can see me
And every day is all for nothing
I just wish I saw it coming
From far away
Hold my breath like you're watching
[Verse 2]
Baby, does it hurt?
Knowing you're the worst one, laying in the dirt
Say the words of your god
Baby, give it up
There's no point in crying, say that you're in love
Tell me who was lying, trying to hold on
Well, you should just let go
Pick yourself up
And leave me alone
Just give it up, just give it up
[Chorus]
Don't think that I can make this work
Biting my tongue with blood on my shirt
I know I have so much more to learn
Like how to quit when all my alternatives are spent
Everyone that I love has left
Wish you saw me for who I am
But I guess that every day is all for forfeit
Giving up hurts so much more than staying away
At least nobody can see me
And every day is all for nothing
I just wish I saw it coming
From far away
Hold my breath like you're watching
