V5.5

[Intro] Could you love somebody like me? Who is borderline manic when she goes outside? Could you love somebody like that? (Yeah) Who will open your message and never text back. [Verse 1] I’ll probably ruin the mood. I’ll probably pick a fight over nothing. I'm gonna stare at my shoes, While you are attempting to tell me you love me. I'll leave my stuff in your way. I'll drink all the juice and put back the carton. I'll tell you I'm doing okay, But I'm honestly just terrified of what I might say. I’m gonna wake up at noon. I’m gonna sit in the room, And act like my terrible mood is inherent. I’m just waiting for the second that you realize it’s true. That I’m never gonna be what you need me to do. I’m just standing in the kitchen while I’m watching you breathe, And I’m wondering how long until you decide to leave. I’m a mess, I’m a joke, I’m a burden, I’m a weight. I’ll ask about your day and then look down at my phone. I’m a terrible listener, I’m chronically late. I'll beg you to come over just to leave you here alone. I'm a child, I'm a chore, I'm a panic attack. I'll ask you for advice that I am never gonna take. I will push you away 'til you finally step back. And act like you leaving is a terrible mistake. (god.. damnit.) [Chorus] [Layered Vocals] Could you love somebody like me? Who Stays up all night just to get a reply? Who is borderline manic when she goes outside, And who needs validation just to feel alive? Could you love somebody like that? (Yeah) Cancel our plans at the drop of a hat? Open your message and never text back, 'Cause she's trying to sleep through a panic attack? [Verse 2] I told everybody I needed a break. I said I was doing the work on my own. But "doing the work" is just staying awake, And hating myself by the light of my phone. I bought a blank journal I haven't unpacked. I paid for a session I didn't attend. I'm telling you all I am getting on track, While ignoring all of the texts from my friends. I thought if I pushed everybody away, I could finally focus and figure it out. But it’s been like four years and I’m stuck in this place, And I don’t even know what I’m crying about. I haven’t been working on me, I just hid. I closed all the blinds so nobody could see. I'm thinking the hardest part of it is, Seeing the person who ruined my life was me. [Chorus] [Layered Vocals] Could you love somebody like me? Who Stays up all night just to get a reply? Who is borderline manic when she goes outside, And who needs validation just to feel alive? Could you love somebody like that? (Yeah) Cancel our plans at the drop of a hat? Open your message and never text back, 'Cause she's trying to sleep through a panic attack? [Bridge] (somebody like me?) (somebody like me?) Could you love somebody like me? I’ve been trying I don’t think that I can. Believe me I’m tired of the person I’ve been, Stuck in a loop and I’m starting again. [Chorus] Could you love somebody like that? (No) Who's too overwhelmed to even ask for you back? Watching the ceiling and waiting to crack, 'Cause she's finally tired of the panic attacks? Could you love somebody like me? (Never) Honestly I think that I forgot how to ask. Could you love somebody like that? I'm more scared than ever of being intact.. [Outro] Could you love somebody like me?.. Could you love somebody like me?..
