Lyrics

I'm good at pushing all my feelings down
Know the right thing to say
Please everybody else around me
I’m on my knees all day
Bruising right down to the bone
My mum says I’m so good
At healing other people’s hurt
I don’t know which is worse
The prospect of a love affair
That’s always unrequited
The labor that it takes to bear
The idea to live without it
I’ve grown accustomed to the pain
Of guarding my own walls
Some try to chip away at times
They rise 10 feet more tall
I don’t I don’t I don’t wanna be like this
I don’t I don’t I don’t wanna have to miss
All of the things I stand in my own way of
Been putting in work
Still waiting for the pay off
(I don’t I don’t)
I’m good at teardrops falling on guitars
And rewriting my feelings
Make my wish upon a star
To break this goddamn ceiling
Falling over my own sword
Before I even risk rejection
I only wanna be adored
I’m a slave for your attention
You’re all of the things I stand in my own way of
You’re all of things I think that I’m afraid of
I don’t I don’t I don’t wanna be like this
I don’t I don’t I don’t wanna have to miss
All of the things I stand in my own way of
Been putting in work
Still waiting for the pay off
(I don’t I don’t I don’t)
(I don’t I don’t I don’t)
You’re all of the things I stand in my own way of
Been putting in work
Still waiting for the pay off
