lyrics

There's nothing left to run away from
But if there was my empty words could pave the way
Your sweaty fingers try to hold my mental state
Look away, would you please look away?
Look away, would you please look away?

And your eyes are melting on my face
Because my mind heats up when I stay awake too late
I feel ashamed because I broke a smile today
Look away, would you please look away?
Look away, would you please look away?

I'm keeping my tongue tied up
Cause these dangerous words betray me
My mind changes and nothin I say keeps you away
I'm keeping m-my tongue tied down
As every little word fills my mouth
Hey, I feel like I'm drowning
Do you feel like you're drowning?
Cause I feel like we're drowning, drowning
Yeah

I need more than a hundred days
You meant more to me than music
More to me than faith
And I'm still fighting to escape the truth but no
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
Better off without you
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
Better off without you

And in the moments I relapse
The ecosystem in my mind starts to collapse
I get smokey eyes when I set fire to your face
Look away, would you please look away?
Look away, would you please look away?

I may have chosen this pain
But nobody told me that boring was easier
I don't wanna talk cause the thoughts are taking the meaning away
Don't take it away from me

I'm keeping my tongue tied up
Cause these dangerous words betray me
My mind changes and nothin I say keeps you away
I'm keeping m-my tongue tied down
As every little word fills my mouth
Hey I feel like I'm drowning
Do you feel like you're drowning?
Cause I feel like we're drowning, drowning
Yeah

I need more than a hundred days
You meant more to me than music
More to me than faith
And I'm still fighting to escape the truth but no
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be
Better off without you

I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, oh
You, without you, without you
I don't wanna be, I don't wanna be, oh
You, without you, without you
