Lyrics
I'm trying hard to be a better man for everyone who is involved with me
(And I can't take it and I can't help that)
I wanted to be courageous, but I'm not yet
We both know I'm the best mistake you've made
One of us had to care for me
I don't want to be happy
I can't sleep without you, I'm wide awake
I don't want to be happy
I don't want to be afraid
I am a burden, I'm not what I seem
The weaker I get, the more worthless I'll be
You tell me I'm strong, what the fuck does that mean?
Don't tell me to listen, no one listens to me
The shirt on my back's fucking smothering me
Your lips on my neck and I cannot breathe
The taste of smoke on my tongue is all I had back then
You breathed hope into my lungs and taught me to feel again
We both know I'm the best mistake you've made
One of us had to care for me
I don't want to be happy
I can't sleep without you, I'm wide awake
I don't want to be happy
I don't want to be afraid
I wanted to be the courageous person that I know I can be
(I'm afraid that I...)
I'm sorry for being ambitious but I didn't want you to leave
(I'm afraid that I...)
I wanted to be the courageous person that I know I can be
(I'm afraid that I...)
I'm sorry for being ambitious but I didn't want you to leave
(I wanted to be courageous, but I'm not yet)
We both know I'm the best mistake you've made
One of us had to care for me
I don't want to be happy
I can't sleep without you, I'm wide awake
I don't want to be happy
I don't want to be afraid
I wanted to be the courageous person I know that I need to be
