lyrics

Reminding myself I don't get to decide
If I’m a good person or not
There's pieces of me I don't quite understand
But I see that there's harm they could cause

So I swallow that pill with flat gingerale
And start digging everything out of my gut
And growing pains hurt like a bitch
But there was somebody in me that I couldn't become

Is this real life?
It feels really bad sometimes
Covering my eyes
Tell me when it's safe outside
You asked for nothing back
And you gave me everything
I don't wanna hide
I wanna do something right

Reminding myself I can't learn anything if I act like I already know
You’ve always seen right through my bullshit
And I needed it
More than you even knew

But I’ll hurt myself bad without blinking
And wanna know why that's a thing that I do
And you've gotten close
And I can't shake the feeling I'm already hurting you too

This is real life
I'm moving through space and time
Sometimes I forget
I need to remember that
You ask for nothing back
And you gave me so much time
I don't wanna die
I wanna do something right

I wanna do something
