about

My first official release!

lyrics

Rip me in half like the heart on my sleeve
Stains on my arm need some more time to breathe
Tell me again I should give myself a try

Learned my mistakes but I'll never recover
Burned every bridge and ran to the other
Tell me again, I should give myself a try

If I should fall again
and make it out alive
I'll put myself to bed
And sleep without the light

If I should fail again
And hurt the ones who tried
I'll try to look ahead
And leave a hand behind

If all that I am is the things that I've done
Then don't be surprised at the man I've become
But tell me again I should give myself a try

Thoughts of myself still cold to the touch
The bottles felt warm but failed as a crutch
I'm weak and I'm heavy I don't think I'm ready
For someone to show me I'm not

If I should fall again
and make it out alive
I'll put myself to bed
And sleep without the light

If I should fail again
And hurt the ones who tried
I'll try to look ahead
And leave a hand behind

I'd say I'm fine I just need some time alone
Don't say I tried when I break down coming home
I'll lose my mind, hanging at the end of the phone
I just need to tell you

If I should fall again
and make it out alive
I'll put myself to bed
And sleep without the light

If I should fail again
And hurt the ones who tried
I'll try to look ahead
And leave a hand behind
