I'm tearing everything into little pieces
With my thoughts and words
Why must I keep breathing
If I keep breaking hearts like a beast?
Oh fuck, what have I done?
I'm losing you
I'm losing you
I'm running from myself
When I'm all you need
Oh god I feel like such a monster
Why did I have to turn into
The one person I hated most?
I'm so afraid of losing someone else
When I'm already teetering on
The edge of the blade
I'm pushing myself away from you
I'm sorry
I'm so sorry
What have I done to you?
What am I doing to myself?
Death seems so peaceful -
But such a selfish escape route
Why can't we go back to before this?
I wish I was better for you
Oh god, why can't I be better?
All I hear are my scream's echoes
I've chased myself into a corner
Please save me from myself
I can't hurt anyone else
Don't let me, don't let me
I'm stranded in my own mind
I wish I could tell you
Save me please
I've been feeling so alone
Wrap me up and don't leave
I'm so afraid of being lost at sea
I'm drifting away from us
Are you trying to swim after me
Or did you give up?
It's okay, I'm okay
I'll be okay
Drowning doesn't sound so bad, honest
