I've been thinking how you used to hate life

My hands won't stop shaking

I'm lost now I'm pacing

Because all I know is how to, how to feel

All because of how I feel so help me feel real

I'll just drag you down

With the weight of my atmosphere

You're better off without me here

I can't take this beating my head gives my heart

My thoughts won't stop eating

They're tearing me apart

Spiraling down

Out of control

Why didn't you keep me around

Next time I see your face

I'll think back to us
