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
cuz it was such a beautiful mess we had got into
I'm gonna overcome this
paper hearts can't win this time
and all along i should have know this
it 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 that happened 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
and 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
cuz 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
cuz i'd rather be dead than make more mistakes
I know you wanted me
to give up my heart to be everything i am
and you're the only thing that i can see
i'm sorry, but you're not the only one for me
You left me here beside myself
left me with all the reasons i was wrong for you
