i'm trying to get better at small talk
cos i just want to talk to you
no matter what about
i'm trying to get better at breathing
cos it shouldn't be your job
to always talk me down
and i swear you know me way too well
to stick around the way you do
i'd ask you why you're still here
if i thought there was an answer
i'm trying to get better at trying
cos you deserve a warrior
and not a little wimp
i'd tell you i was brave if you wanted
but i don't want to let you down
with hope of something better
and i swear you know me way too well
to stick around the way you do
i'd ask you why you're still here
if i thought there was an answer
i would tell you all of my secrets
but i don't know where to start
so it's better if you ask
i would tell you all of my stories
but i am the antagonist
and the plots are not original
and i swear you know me way too well
to stick around the way you do
i'd ask you why you're still here
if i thought there was an answer
all i want to do is make you happy
you deserve the whole wide world
but i don't have that much to give
i have got to exorcise my demons
but my head just spins around
until i look like a tornado
and i swear you know me way too well
to stick around the way you do
i'd ask you why you're still here
if i could handle the answer
each hangover gets a little bit less likely to be the last one
but each hangover hurts and makes me feel sure
that i don't know how long i can wake up a mess
and i'm starting to think i'm just drowning in drink
and i can't hold my breath through one more cigarette
so if this is what life is and this feels like what life is
maybe i don't want to hold on
