I Was Born Ready, Baby

All these words they fall

And form a noose around my neck

And I know just how to break them

But I keep choking on regret

­

Someone do me a favour please

Make some room for me to breathe in here

On your way out, burst my heart

­

Come back here

Take my breath away

You know I only ever felt this way with you

­

Open my eyes

I'm fighting

Without control

I'm losing hope

­

My dreams keep me from waking

I keep wishing there was somewhere

In between where we could meet

But I'm afraid to fall asleep

­

You're walking away.

So go back to the arms you thought were safe.

And I'll find an excuse,

But each time I get closer and closer.

Words catch at the back of my throat.

And I'm out of time

So I'll leave you this way.

And I can explain

But it's not ok.
