Lyrics

I think I've been leaving
For longer than I've been here
There's a version of me I can't look at too long
He's still trying to fix what I did wrong
Keeps a list in his head of every mistake I made
Fuck that's long
Like if he names them all, they'll start to erase
But they don't
They just echo back softer
Like they're tired of me too
Lord if I know I have the time
It's passing through me now
I don't cry like I used to anymore
Now it's quiet, like it settled in the floor
Like the sadness found a place it could stay
Without needing me to get in the way
I don't think I was meant to stay
I just learned how to look okay
Every smile got a cost I pay that shit
Every night I just drift away
God, I tried, I was really there
But I fade like I'm made of air
If I leave, would you even care
Or just say I was always like this?
Uh
Man
I don't know
I've just cussed out twice
And the static in my vision
Like a TV left on
In a room no one visits
I been rehearsing my absence
So it don't shock nobody
When I'm finally quiet
I'm sorry for the love I couldn't hold
Every time it got warm, I turned cold
Not on purpose
I swear I tried
But something in me always stepped aside
You said, "stay"
Like it was simple to do
Like I wasn't already halfway gone
But if I disappear
It's not sudden
I've been practicing
My whole life
I don't think I was meant to stay
I just learned how to delay the pain
(I'm sorry)
(Fuck)
(LXCHY)
