Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know it slowly takes a little of you
I'm trying to contain, there's not enough room
I turn to stone, turn to stone
Turning into stone, into stone, into stone
[PreChorus]
Totally surrounded
Looking for a grounding
How will I survive this?
Probably with some bruises
[Chorus]
I'm halfway gone and halfway there
With one foot on and off the gas
Don't know how to fake it
Just take me back to basics
I'm damned to do and damned to dare
I'll try to love myself to death
Don't know how to fake it
Just take me back to basics
[Verse 2]
I'm trying not to break, 'cause what would I prove?
Leave with a sour taste and come across rude?
Oh, get me home, get me home
And face it on my own, on my own, on my own
[PreChorus]
Suddenly surrounded
Putting up defences
Building walls around me
So I don't repent this
[Chorus]
I'm halfway gone and halfway there
With one foot on and off the gas
Don't know how to fake it
Just take me back to basics
I'm damned to do and damned to dare
I'll try to love myself to death
Don't know how to fake it
Just take me back to basics
[Bridge]
Don't wake me up, it's a bad day
Let me lie in my mistakes
Don't wake me up, it's a bad day
Let me lie in my mistakes
[Chorus]
I'm halfway gone and halfway there
With one foot on and off the gas
Don't know how to fake it
Just take me back to basics
I'm damned to do and damned to dare
I'll try to love myself to death
Don't know how to fake it
Just take me back to basics
[Outro]
Don't know how to fake it
Just take me back to basics
Basics
Just take me back to basics
