Lyrics

I'm too far gone, it's so easy to forget
I'll come back down to greet the voice I thought had left
Will I still be afraid once he's gone?
I always step away
I know him more than I know me
I'm scared to entertain the thought that he's next up to leave
Well, he said it was only the start
I'm so afraid of what happens when I let down my guard
'Cause I don't know what will happen if I push us too far
Is it you or your misery that wants me to stick around?
I've never liked the light, too much that I don't want to see
I can't afford to lose my little-known consistency
But I'm so afraid of the dark
Always taught that I can't want, that it's a sin to feed my greed
Only took what I could get, but she said anything for me
And she quiets the sorries from my scars
I'm so afraid of what happens when I let down my guard
Think I know what'll happen when I push us too far
Can it be you, not your misery, that wants me to stick around?
If I look you in the eye and get down on both my knees
Can you crawl under my skin and take my soul from underneath?
As long as it's yours and not mine
I look for ways to change, scared this is all I'll ever be
When you force me to look in, maybe I'll actually want to see
If I bury myself in your mind
I'm so afraid of what happens when I let down my guard
'Cause I don't know what will happen if I push us too far
Is it you or your misery that wants me to stick around?
You see, I hate to imagine that when you hold my heart
It isn't love, it's just power that I let go too far
Can it be you, not your misery that wants me to stick around?
(Is it you or your misery that wants me to stick around?)
Can it be you, not your misery that wants me to stick around?
(Can it be you, not your misery?)
But I know it's only the start
