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 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 goodbye
Can I swallow this bottle whole?
So, this brain in my head
Can forget your face
When we were 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 goodbye
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
Then 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
Not the only one for me
(So this brain in my head can forget your face)
You left me, here, beside myself
Left me with all the reasons I was wrong for you.
