How Can I
xcx Lyrics

My hands are frozen into chains behind my back
I feel trapped and unable to make decisions or take action.

So please don't swallow down the key, let me out now
I need your help to break free and make a change in my life.

Yeah, I'm in trouble, can't stop what's coming
I've made mistakes and now must face the consequences.

Can't blame this one on bad luck
I have to take responsibility for my actions and accept the outcome.

How can I, how can I
I'm desperate for a solution to my problems.

How can I fix what I fucked up?
I want to make things right and fix the damage I've caused.

Iced out, got hot, bit the dust hardcore
I tried to escape my problems and failed miserably.

But I'm at the same place I was before
I'm stuck in the same situation with no progress.

Can't blame this one on bad love
I can't blame my mistakes on a failed relationship.

It was boys and girls and girls and boys
I engaged in reckless behavior with multiple partners.

The Southern Comfort from your comforter got destroyed
I used alcohol to cope and it only made things worse.

It was shady eyes with the violent noise
I surrounded myself with negative influences and dangerous situations.

We on the graveyard digging where the love is void
My actions have led me to a dark and hopeless place.

We had a meltdown underground
I hit rock bottom and felt like there was no way out.

Just a cemetery chick, I'm sober now
I've realized the error in my ways and am trying to make amends.

But I still taste your bones when I'm all alone
I can't let go of my past mistakes and they haunt me when I'm by myself.

You're the best I ever had, but you've got to go
I need to move on from my past relationship and focus on my own growth.

And now I'm on my own
I'm taking responsibility for my life and actions.

I said, “Please don't go”
I regret losing someone important to me.

I miss your touch and my skin on yours
I long for the intimacy and connection I once had.

I want a taste of what I adore
I crave the feeling of being loved and wanted.
