lyrics

I don’t wanna hold it in no more
It’s too fucking heavy
And yeah, I really wanna get better
I’m just not fucking ready
And I don’t really want this skin
‘Cause it remembers how you held it
But God knows I don’t wanna reach out to you
So I try to forget it

I’m left so empty never knowing what was real
I don’t know how to talk to you and I don’t know how to feel

So just hold me in the middle of the night
We can pretend that we’re lovers making up from a fight
And we can throw all of the pain love caused away
So just hold me in the middle of the night, so tight
Like a noose around my neck
If I won’t wake up by your side, I’d rather not wake up instead

How do I grieve the death of something I’m not sure was real?
Can’t say that I could blame you, but you made it hard to heal
‘Cause my best friend left me with no warning
Left a corpse and all the bugs are swarming
You know me, yeah you know me
So you know just how to choke me

It’s only when I’m still that I feel so heavy
I need your arms around me just to hold me steady
I’ve been taking pills at night to help me get some sleep
Because I only get to see you when you’re in my dreams

You knew so much about me
What I couldn’t heal
I don’t know how to talk to you
And I don’t know how to feel

So just hold me in the middle of the night
We can pretend that we’re lovers making up from a fight
And we can throw all of the pain love caused away
So just hold me in the middle of the night, so tight
Like a noose around my neck
If I won’t wake up by your side, I’d rather not wake up

So just hold me in the middle of the night
We can pretend that we’re lovers making up from a fight
And we can throw all of the pain love caused away
So just hold me in the middle of the night, so tight
Like a noose around my neck
If I won’t wake up by your side, I’d rather not wake up instead
