lyrics

Oh memory, bring me back home
Please don't leave me here tonight
I need some strength to walk a little bit further
The train's not that far from here

Words can mean so much
When you're getting closer to an end, but your story's just begun
Why does no one see that I've been pacing myself to the top of this cliff
Is it better if I jump?

With all these bruises on my stomach
I'm just lying here, covered in my own vomit and tears
Please don't call me pathetic
My anxiety brings out the worst in me

Don't pity me, I did this to myself
I keep pushing harder each time I say I'm sorry
Don't pity me, I did this to myself
I keep pushing back
Does that make me weak?

I don't want to die, at least not like this
I don't want to die, with all this progress I've made
I don't want to die, at least not like this
I don't want to die, if it'll make you sad

*Spoken Background Vocals*
I'm sorry I'm not the person everyone wants me to be
I fucking hate myself so much, but I'm done pretending I'm someone I'm not
I don't think...I don't think I want to die anymore

*Secondary Vocals*
Would it hurt to just pay attention
I know it's too much to listen
At least I can say that I tried
Would it hurt to just pay attention
I know it's too much to listen
At least I can say that I tried
A good friend wouldn't force their eyes shut
Would it hurt to just pay attention
I know it's too much to listen
At least I can say that I tried
A good friend wouldn't force their eyes shut
Would it hurt to just pay attention
I know it's too much to listen
At least I can say that I tried
A good friend wouldn't

*Main Vocals*
I don't want to die, at least not like this
I don't want to die, cause there's so much to live for
I don't want to die, even if it's the easier way out
I don't want to die, at least not like this
I don't want to die, with all this progress I've made
I don't want to die, cause there's so much to live for
I don't want to die
I don't want to...make you sad
