You sat me down beside myself
To show me all the reasons I was wrong for you
Was this for real? It's hard to tell
'Cause it was such a beautiful mess we had got into
I'm gonna overcome this paper heart and win this time
And all along, I should've known that this wasn't your dream, it
was mine
I know you wanted me to give up this life to be
Everything I was back when you had the hands my heart was in
I was never good at goodbyes
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
So, this brain in my head
Can forget your face
When we starting out, you believed in me without a doubt
You were the finest thing to happen to a boy like me
It's so much harder, now, I wanna try and tell you how
There is so much love in me, even though it's hard to see
I was never good at goodbyes
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
So, this brain in my head
Can forget your face
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
'Cause I'd rather be dead
Than make more mistakes
Today I couldn't stay awake
Feels like i'm drowning in this firewater lake
I won't be sleeping much tonight
It's not the same without you lying by my side
Right beside me
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
So, this brain in my head
Can forget your face
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
'Cause I'd rather be dead
Than make more mistakes
I know you wanted me
To give up my life to be
Everything I am, when you're the
Only thing that I can see
I'm sorry, but you're not the
The only one for me
You left me, here, beside myself
Left me with all the reasons I was wrong for you
